Modelling the evolution of Arctic melt ponds
… of salts during freezing. In the summer sea ice melts at its surface creating melt ponds. An accurate estimate of the fraction of the upper sea ice surface covered in melt ponds during the summer melt season is essential for a realistic estimate of the albedo for global climate models. I will …

Examining Melt Pond Dynamics and Light Availability in the Arctic Ocean via High Resolution Satellite Imagery
… First-year ice is prone to extensive pools of meltwater (“melt ponds”) forming on its surface, which enhance light transmission to the ocean. Changes in the timing and distribution of melt pond formation and associated increases in under-ice light availability are the primary drivers for …

Investigating the potential of meltwater as a local source of ice nucleating particles in the central Arctic summer
… importance of INPs from local sources, such as melt ponds. In this study, we used the Colorado State University (CSU) Ice Spectrometer and chemical treatments to determine the INP concentration and inferred composition in source samples of bulk sea water and meltwater from ponds and leads over …

Characterisation of microbial Mat communities in meltwater ponds of the McMurdo ice shelf, Antarctica
… the microbial and functional diversity of the meltwater ponds Fresh, Orange and Salt Ponds on the McMurdo Ice Shelf, near Bratina Island, Antarctica. These sites were chosen because of the ecological importance and absence of detailed characterisations of their diversity and function as part of …
