Characterization of aerosol growth events over Ellesmere Island during the summers of 2015 and 2016 by S. Tremblay, J.-C. Picard, J. O. Bachelder, E. Lutsch, K. Strong, P. Fogal, W. R. Leaitch, S. Sharma, F. Kolonjari, C. J. Cox, C. J. Cox, R. Y.-W. Chang, P. L. Hayes

“…Measurements of aerosol size distributions and aerosol composition were taken during the summers of 2015 and 2016 at Eureka and Alert on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada. These results provide a better understanding of the frequency and spatial extent of elevated Aitken mode aerosol concentrations as well as of the composition and sources of aerosol mass during particle growth. …”

Rapid demise and committed loss of Bowman Glacier, northern Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada by Dorota Medrzycka, Luke Copland, Brice Noël

“…Using historical and recent aerial photography and structure from motion (SfM) multiview stereo (MVS) techniques, we reconstruct the 1959 and 2018 ice surface topography and determine the geodetic mass balance of Bowman Glacier, a small mountain glacier on northern Ellesmere Island. This is combined with optical satellite imagery to reconstruct the evolution in extent of the glacier over six decades, and ground-penetrating radar measurements of ice thickness to estimate the remaining ice volume. …”

Glacier changes over the past 144 years at Alexandra Fiord, Ellesmere Island, Canada by Allison N. Curley, William H. Kochtitzky, Benjamin R. Edwards, Luke Copland

“…Our results are consistent with rates of change determined for other glaciers of similar size on Ellesmere Island, and with accelerated rates of ice loss coincident with regional increases in air temperature of ~1.5°C since the early 1980s.…”

Area change of glaciers across Northern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, between ~1999 and ~2015 by ADRIENNE WHITE, LUKE COPLAND

“…Using a variety of optical satellite scenes, this study quantifies the change in the areal extent of 1773 glaciers across Northern Ellesmere Island between ~1999 and ~2015. Our results show that the regional ice coverage decreased by 1705.3 km2 over the ~16-year period, a loss of ~5.9%. …”

Long-distance, synchronized and directional fall movements suggest migration in Arctic hares on Ellesmere Island (Canada) by Jacob Caron-Carrier, Sandra Lai, François Vézina, Andrew Tam, Dominique Berteaux

“…We tracked 25 individuals with Argos satellite telemetry to investigate the existence of migration in a population living at Alert (Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada). During fall, 21 hares undertook directional, long-distance movements in a southwestern direction towards Lake Hazen. …”

Mass-balance and ablation processes of a perennial polar ice patch on the northern coast of Ellesmere Island by Gautier Davesne, Daniel Fortier, Florent Domine, Christophe Kinnard

“…Model projections of these factors suggest that conditions will become critical for preserving ice patches at WHI and along the northern coast of Ellesmere Island as early as in the next decades.…”

Ocean wave blocking by periodic surface rolls fortifies Arctic ice shelves by Peter Nekrasov, Douglas R. MacAyeal

“…The Ward Hunt and Milne ice shelves are the present-day remnants of a much larger ice shelf that once fringed the coast of Ellesmere Island, Canada. These ice shelves possess a unique surface morphology consisting of wave-like rolls that run parallel to the shoreline. …”

Tracking Multiyear Sea‐Ice Variation in the Arctic Ocean Over Decades With Microseism by Jui‐Chun Freya Chen, Sunyoung Park, Douglas R. MacAyeal

“…Abstract We construct a linear model of microseism power as a function of sea‐ice concentration and ocean‐wave activity with a seismic station located on northern Ellesmere Island. The influence of wind‐ice‐ocean interactions on microseism has been taken into account. …”
