We present a methodology to derive sea ice type classification maps in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean for the autumn through spring seasons, from 1991 to present. We use datasets from four ...

Seasonal sea ice forms and melts every year creating openings in the ice with open water where life can continue to thrive.

Even during the coldest 750,000 years, the Arctic Ocean had open water and sustained life thanks to seasonal sea ice. “Our sediment cores show that marine life was active even during the coldest times ...
