Drivers of winter ice formation on Arctic water bodies in the Lena Delta, Siberia by Martha Lütjen, Pier Paul Overduin, Bennet Juhls, Julia Boike, Anne Morgenstern, Hanno Meyer

“…Electrical conductivity (EC) and stable water isotopes of ice cores from four winters and six water bodies were measured at unprecedented resolution down to 2-cm increments, revealing differences in freezing systems. Open-system freezing shows near-constant isotopic and EC gradients in ice, whereas closed-system freezing shows decreasing isotopic composition with depth. …”
