Lake ice is an important feature of the physical landscape at northern latitudes. Not only
does the presence of lake ice help modulate weather and climate but it also plays an …

Cold regions, including high-latitude and high-altitude landscapes, are experiencing
profound environmental changes driven by global warming. With the advance of earth …

Ice cover plays a critical role in physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes in lakes.
Despite its importance, winter limnology remains relatively understudied. Here, we provide a …

The seasonal dynamics of freshwater lake ice and its interactions with air and snow are
studied in two small subarctic lakes with comparable surface areas but contrasting depths …

The ice phenology of freshwater lakes throughout the Northern Hemisphere has undergone
important climate-induced shifts over the past century. In Canada's North, where freshwater …

Climate change leads to more variable meteorological conditions. In many Northern
Hemisphere temperate regions, cold seasons have become more variable and …

Thermokarst lakes and ponds are major elements of permafrost landscapes, occupying up
to 40% of the land area in some Arctic regions. Shallow lakes freeze to the bed, thus …

Lake ice provides important social and economic services to local communities, in addition
to being a sensitive indicator of climate change. The reduction of ground observations of …

The availability and quality of quad-pol synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets has
increased substantially since the early 2000s, allowing for polarimetrically complete …

Synthetic aperture radar is an invaluable tool for monitoring lake ice. This study utilizes
synthetic aperture radar to analyze the 2019-2023 backscatter time series of perennially ice …
