  Scientific journal, Abstract
  
  Ocean phytoplankton are an important source of dimethyl sulfide, which influences marine cloud formation. Model studies suggest that declines in Arctic sea ice may lead to increased dimethyl sulfide emissions, however observational support is lacking. Here, we present a 55-year high-resolution ice core record of methane sulfonic acid flux, an oxidation product of dimethyl sulfide, from the southeast Greenland Ice Sheet. We infer temporal variations in ocean dimethyl sulfide emissions and find that springtime (April–June) fluxes of methane sulfonic acid correlate well with satellite-derived chlorophyll-a concentration in the Irminger Sea. Summertime (July–September) methane sulfonic acid fluxes were 3 to 6 times higher between 2002–2014 than 1972–2001. We attribute this to sea ice retreat day becoming earlier and a coincident increase in chlorophyll-a concentration in the adjacent open coastal waters.

  Scientific journal, From glaciological observations, we found spatial variation in the input of insoluble particles (ISP) on a glacier surface from atmospheric deposition and outcropping at the surface of the glacier by surface ablation at the ablation area of the Qaanaaq Ice Cap in northwestern Greenland. Possible sources of ISP input to the glacier surface were outcropping at the surface of the glacier by ablation at intermediate and low elevations, and from atmospheric deposition at high elevations. The annual atmospheric deposition of ISP was larger at high elevations than at intermediate and low elevations. The annual abundance of outcropping ISP was larger at intermediate elevations than at low elevations, where the annual ablation rate of the glacier surface was 1.5 times larger than at intermediate elevations. The ISP concentration in the glacier ice at intermediate sites was approximately 10 times larger than at low sites. The water stable isotopes of glacier ice at intermediate sites indicated that glacier ice at the intermediate sites did not form since the last glacial maximum, possibly the Holocene Thermal Maximum. Therefore, the accumulation of the ISP, which is outcropping at the intermediate site, occurred at high elevations after Holocene Thermal Maximum.

  Currently occurring rapid warming in the Arctic could affect global environmental changes through sea level rise and remote atmospheric effect. The surface melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) involves various uncertainties, which are issues to be elucidated for accurate climate projections. To clarify how the atmosphere, snow/ice, and glacial microbes in the GrIS affect the ice sheet change under global warming, the SIGMA and SIGMA-II projects were conducted from FY2011 to FY2019. In parallel, big Arctic research projects such as GRENE and ArCS were also done, which accelerated the Japanese Greenland researches. This paper describes the research results of the SIGMA and SIGMA-II projects as well as the related research projects in the categories of (1) in-situ observations of the atmosphere, snow/ice, and glacial microbes, (2) ice core drilling, (3) satellite observation, and (4) numerical modeling. Furthermore, we discuss current issues in these studies, a linkage to the Cryosphere subject of recently launched ArCS II Project, and the importance of capacity building., The Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, Japanese
