Polar express
About this release
This release features a large collection of classes representing polar and cryosphere-related environments and environmental processes, primarily prepared by @kaiiam. These semantics are in aid of efforts such as the Alfred Wegener Institute's Frontiers in Arctic Marine Monitoring programme. Knowledge was harvested from numerous resources - such as the review by Boetius et al. (2015, Nat Rev Microbiol 13: 677–690) - which are cross referenced in each class. Efforts to align with existing resources have been initiated, e.g.: ESIPFed/sweet#7
Past and ongoing work related to this project is organised in project cryophile. This work has also motivated the general development of the environmental process hierarchy.
A number of other requests, such as that for fissures (see #466) are also bundled in this release.
As usual, the hyperlinks to the terms will be live once OntoBee runs its import cycle over the weekend; however, the PURLs are valid immediately.
To better axiomatise the new classes and enhance existing ones, we have also imported numerous classes from other OBO projects, detailed below.

Began adding Pier’s orcid to the project cryophile classes created. Addressed the melt pond #489, and thaw hole hierarchies, creating the upper level class channel and moving tunnel under it. Also made issue requesting for a class such as PATO:microbial community #499.
