First-ever assessment of pathways to slow Arctic sea ice loss identifies potential mitigation approaches and highlights need to increase collaborative, careful research
Ocean Visions
The loss of Arctic summer sea ice is one of the most alarming indicators of climate change. As global temperatures rise due to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in our atmosphere, the Arctic region has been warming three to four times faster than the global average. One of the most visible impacts has been a significant loss of summer sea ice each year, which results in more heat being trapped in the Arctic Ocean rather than reflecting back into space.
