Seasonal sea ice persisted through the Holocene Thermal Maximum at 80°N

A. J. Pieńkowski, K. Husum, et al.

This intriguing study by Anna J. Pieńkowski and colleagues reveals surprising insights into the resilience of seasonal sea ice in the northern Barents Sea during the Holocene Thermal Maximum, a period that was warmer than today's climate. Using advanced organic biomarkers and isotope analysis, the team found evidence of substantial spring sea ice concentrations, suggesting that these ice formations may withstand warmer conditions better than anticipated.... show more
