The Pan-Arctic Impacts of Thinning Sea Ice

Presenter: Zachary Labe, Postdoctoral Researcher at Colorado State University 

Description:

The Arctic is rapidly changing. However, long-term observations of trends in Arctic sea-ice thickness are still quite limited. In this presentation, Zachary will discuss the different methods (satellite instruments and climate model simulations) of observing sea-ice thickness in order to understand changes in the recent Arctic amplification era. He will also highlight the far-reaching environmental and societal impacts from a thinning Arctic sea-ice cover.

Thank you LEO Network members for joining us in the January webinar.

Respectfully,

The LEO Team at ANTHC
