Icehouse to Greenhouse What Is the Role of Sea Ice

January 24, 2021

The annual melting and freezing of sea ice constitute one of the largest seasonal phenomena on our planet. NYUAD researchers are working to advance our understanding of how sea ice changes, as anticipating future changes is of critical importance to the overall state of the climate system.

This talk describes what sea ice is, why it’s an essential part of the climate system, and how we have observed and understood it since the Heroic Age of Exploration up until the modern satellite era.

Speakers
Clare Eayrs, Research Scientist, Center for Global Sea Level Change, NYUAD
