Ikaite crystals in melting sea ice – implications for <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> and pH levels in Arctic surface waters

A major issue of Arctic marine science is to understand whether the Arctic Ocean is, or will be, a source or sink for air–sea CO<sub>2</sub> exchange. This has been complicated by the recent discoveries of ikaite (a polymorph of CaCO<sub>3</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O) i...
