... analysis are optimized for liquid samples, sea ice samples are typically melted first, often applying a buffering method to mitigate osmotic lysis. Here, we tested commonly used melting procedures on three different ice horizons of springtime, first year, land-fast Arctic sea ice to investigate potential...

... solutions including handheld, mobile, and continuous monitoring methods using comparable, repeatable protocols. Results assess performance of detection, localization and quantification, albeit with limited statistical significance due to a low number of tests. Overall, a higher detection rate is observed...

... and the development of conceptual and numerical models to describe the important biogeochemical processes occurring in sea ice. Almost all chemical elements, compounds, and biogeochemical processes relevant to Earth system science are measured in sea ice, with published methods available for determining biomass...
