With international authorship and interdisciplinary scope, this compilation and the related volumes Antarctic Sea Ice Physical Processes and Antarctic Sea Ice Biological Processes also cover the impacts of ice crystals and icebergs, sea ice biology and geophysics, and the important roles of sea ice in atmospheric and oceanographic processes.
