Climate dynamics of a hard snowball Earth (2005, background): “Further, cold subeutectic ice is nearly as bright as snow, because of the formation of salt crystals which are effective scatterers [Warren et al., 2002].”
Optical properties of deep glacial ice at the South Pole (2006, background): “, 1998] to estimate the amount of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) that could have penetrated the frozen surface of the tropical oceans, part of an Earth-blanketing ice cover posited to have existed at least twice during the neoProterozoic period 700 million years ago, to sustain biological”

Optical constants of ice from the ultraviolet to the microwave: A revised compilation (2008, background): “These changes will have no effect on the computed radiative properties of clouds and minor effects on computations of snow albedo but will be significant for computation of photochemical fluxes in snow [Wolff et al., 2002] and of ice thickness on the ocean of ‘‘Snowball Earth’’ [ Warren et al., 2002”
Emergence of a Habitable Planet (2007, background): “7.1 Ice Ice thickness on a snowball Earth is a matter of active debate (McKay 2000; Warren et al. 2002; Pierrehumbert 2004; McKay 2004; Pollard and Kasting 2005).”
THE EDIACARA BIOTA: Neoproterozoic Origin of Animals and Their Ecosystems (2005, background): “…a “hard snowball” Earth would be extremely thin and would readily permit photosynthesis have been replaced by more robust geophysical models that predict that ice thickness under these conditions would be far too great to support photosynthesis except in open-water refugia (Warren et al. 2002).”
A review of snow and ice albedo and the development of a new physically based broadband albedo parameterization (2010, background): “…and ice are well established [Warren and Wiscombe, 1980; Wiscombe and Warren, 1980; Warren, 1982; Mullen and Warren, 1988; Askebjer et al., 1997; Warren et al., 2002; Ackermann et al., 2006; Warren and Brandt, 2008], but there have been few attempts to derive theoretically based,…”
