Responses of Antarctic marine and freshwater ecosystems to changing ice conditions

MK Obryk, PT Doran, AS Friedlaender, MN Gooseff… - Bioscience, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Polar regions are warming more rapidly than lower latitudes, and climate models predict that
this trend will continue into the coming decades. Despite these observations and …

Fast direct melting of brackish sea-ice samples results in biologically more accurate results than slow buffered melting

JM Rintala, J Piiparinen, J Blomster, M Majaneva… - Polar Biology, 2014 - Springer
Sea-ice samples intended for biological analyses, eg, chlorophyll-a, cell enumeration of
algae and protozoa and primary production, are affected by the sampling and sample …

Remote estimates of ice algae biomass and their response to environmental conditions during spring melt

K Campbell, CJ Mundy, DG Barber, M Gosselin - Arctic, 2014 - JSTOR
In this study, we support previous work showing that a normalized difference index (NDI)

Spatio-temporal variability of snow over sea ice in western Hudson Bay, with reference to ringed seal pup survival

J Iacozza, SH Ferguson - Polar biology, 2014 - Springer
