About

    Arctic sea ice research focuses on studying the processes and trends related to the extent, thickness, and dynamics of sea ice in the Arctic region. This research area is important for understanding the impacts of climate change on the Arctic environment, as well as the global climate system. Scientists use a variety of tools and techniques, including satellite observations, field studies, and computer models, to monitor and analyze changes in Arctic sea ice cover over time. Key research questions in this field include investigating the causes of sea ice decline, predicting future sea ice changes, and studying the consequences of diminishing sea ice on ecosystems, indigenous communities, and climate patterns.
