Aqueous ion-containing interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in a plethora of
physical, chemical, atmospheric, and biological processes, from which we mention just a few …

Abstract The Southern Ocean is widely recognized as a potential cause of the lower
atmospheric concentration of CO 2 during ice ages, but the mechanism is debated. Focusing …

Fjords have long been recognized for their value as sites of sediment deposition, recording
past climatic conditions. Recently, Arctic fjords have been recognized as the critical gateway …

During sea ice formation in polar areas, brine rejection increases the density in the
underlying water column and thereby contributes to the formation of deep and intermediate …

Ice recrystallization is of great importance to both fundamental research and practical
applications, however understanding and controlling ice recrystallization processes remains …

Although salt rejection from sea ice is a key process in deep-water formation in ice-covered
seas, the concurrent rejection of CO2 and the subsequent effect on air–sea CO2 exchange …

The atmospherically and technologically very important process of brine rejection from
freezing salt solutions is investigated with atomic resolution using molecular dynamics …

Evidence from geochemical tracers (salinity, oxygen, silicate, nutrients, alkalinity, dissolved
inorganic carbon (DIC), carbon isotopes (δ13CDIC) and radiocarbon (Δ14C)) collected …

Global overturning circulation is driven by density differences. Saline water rejected during
sea-ice formation in polynyas is the main source of dense water, and thus sea-ice …

Deep water formation in the North Atlantic and Southern Ocean is widely thought to
influence deglacial CO2 rise and climate change; here we suggest that deep water …
