Sea ice in the Arctic : past, present and future

Sea ice in the Arctic : past, present and future / Ola M. Johannessen, Leonid P. Bobylev, Elena V. Shalina, Stein Sandven, editors.

This book provides in-depth information about the sea ice in the Arctic at scales from paleoenvironmental variability to more contemporary changes during the past and present centuries. The book is based on several decades of research related to sea ice in the Arctic and its variability, sea ice pro...
