Join Frontier Scientists studying oceans and sea ice.

Sea ice is changing, with Arctic sea ice extent decreasing by about 12% per decade since the late 1970s. Arctic sea ice is losing area, thickness, and volume; those changes impact global climate conditions and sea levels.

Scientists are using innovative data gathering methods and high-tech computational models to decode these changes and to help predict the future of Arctic waters and Arctic sea ice in our changing climate. They’re modeling Arctic waters.

Also, hear an account of researchers aboard the USCGC icebreaker Healy exploring biological, physical and chemical ocean conditions in the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas during the icy Arctic winter.
