Recent Thickening of the Barents Sea Ice Cover
Onarheim + Eik + Steele ...
The Arctic sea ice cover has decreased rapidly over the last few decades both in extent and thickness. Here we present multi‐year (2013–2022) observations of sea...

Role of Ice Mechanics on Snow Viscoplasticity
Vedrine + Hagenmuller + Bernard ...
The porous structure of snow becomes denser with time under gravity, primarily due to the creep of its ice matrix with viscoplasticity. Despite investigation of this behavior...

A Predictive Theory for Heat Transport Into Ice Shelf Cavities
Finucane + Stewart
Antarctic ice shelves are losing mass at drastically different rates, primarily due to differing rates of oceanic heat supply to their bases. However, a generalized theory...

An Ensemble Learning Model Reveals Accelerated Reductions in Snow Depth Over Arctic Sea Ice Under High‐Emission Scenarios
Li + ke + Cai ...
There are significant differences in snow depth predictions among different earth system models, and many models underestimate snow depth, restricting their application. Here,...
