The Arctic regions are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, as warming is amplified by ice-albedo feedbacks (Serreze and Barry, 2011). Because the cryosphere plays an important role in global climate systems, it necessary to understand how sea ice and glaciers have responded to climate...
