The Last Arctic Sea Ice Refuge - Projections and Implications
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a critical press conference from the AGU Fall Meeting 2010 examining the potential for a last Arctic sea ice refuge. Delve into research on ice-formation patterns, currents, winds, and habitat requirements of Arctic biota as experts investigate the possibility of year-round ice persistence in the region north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland. Learn from leading scientists Stephanie L. Pfirman, Robert Newton, Bruno Tremblay, and Brendan P. Kelly as they discuss the implications for polar bears, seals, and other ice-dependent creatures in the face of projected summer sea ice disappearance across much of the Arctic within decades.
