Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

The present-day state and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depend on the rate at which the
ocean melts its fringing ice shelves. Ocean heat must cross many physical and dynamical …

Basal melt of ice shelves is not only an important part of Antarctica's ice sheet mass budget,
but it is also the origin of platelet ice, one of the most distinctive types of sea ice. In many …

Antarctic sea ice that has been affected by supercooled Ice Shelf Water (ISW) has a unique
crystallographic structure and is called platelet ice. In this paper we synthesize platelet ice …

We investigate the structure and evolution of multiphase ice-ocean interfaces ('mushy
layers') and the implications for the geophysics and habitability of ice-ocean worlds …

Historical sea ice core chlorophyll‐a (Chla) data are used to describe the seasonal,
regional, and vertical distribution of ice algal biomass in Antarctic landfast sea ice. The …

In this paper we report measurements from the first year‐round mooring underneath sea ice
in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, which we combine with full‐depth ocean profiles to identify …

Fast ice plays important physical and ecological roles: as a barrier to wind, waves and
radiation, as both barrier and safe resting place for air-breathing animals, and as substrate …

Sea ice is a reactive porous medium of ice crystals and liquid brine, which is an example of
a mushy layer. The phase behaviour of sea ice controls the evolving material properties and …

The seasonal sea ice zone encompasses the region between the winter maximum and
summer minimum sea ice extent. In both the Arctic and Antarctic, the majority of the ice cover …
