"One of the harshest and most dynamic regions on Earth is the marginal ice zone
– the place where ocean waves meet sea ice, which is formed by freezing of the
ocean’s surface.

Published today, a themed issue of the journal Philosophical Transactions of
the Royal Society A
 reviews the rapid progress researchers have made over the
past decade in understanding and modelling this challenging environment.

This research is vital for us to better understand the complex interactions of
Earth’s climate systems. That’s because the marginal ice zone plays a role in
the seasonal freezing and thawing of the oceans."
