      The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is one of the largest species migrations to occur globally and is a key driver of regional ecosystems and the marine carbon pump. The dramatic changes in the Arctic environment in recent years, mainly associated with sea-ice decline, may have wide significance for the Arctic shelf ecosystems including DVM. Observations have revealed the occurrence of ...
    • A long-term proxy for sea ice thickness in the Canadian Arctic: 1996-2020 

      Glissenaar, Isolde A.; Landy, Jack Christopher; Babb, David G.; Dawson, Geoffrey J.; Howell, Stephen E. L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-15)
      . This study presents a long-term winter sea ice thickness proxy product for the Canadian Arctic based on a random forest regression model – applied to ice charts and scatterometer data, trained on CryoSat-2 observations, and applying an ice type–sea ice thickness correction using the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) – that provides 25 years of sea ice thickness ...
    • A year-round satellite sea-ice thickness record from CryoSat-2 

      Landy, Jack Christopher; Dawson, Geoffrey; Tsamados, Michel; Bushuk, Mitchell; Stroeve, Julienne C.; Howell, Stephen; Krumpen, Thomas; Babb, David G.; Komarov, Alexander S.; Heorton, Harold; Belter, H. Jakob; Aksenov, Yevgeny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-14)
      Arctic sea ice is diminishing with climate warming at a rate unmatched for at least 1,000 years. As the receding ice pack raises commercial interest in the Arctic, it has become more variable and mobile, which increases safety risks to maritime users. Satellite observations of sea-ice thickness are currently unavailable during the crucial melt period from May to September, when they would be most ...
