GI Scientist: Arctic sea ice needs better forecasts
With climate change causing the arctic ice pack to melt, more and more northern waters are opening up to shipping each summer. Sea ice in the region is a major hazard, warns Hajo Eicken, a geophysicist and sea ice expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. According to Eicken, better forecasts are urgently needed and will require a new network to manage and distribute sea ice data. Eicken’s ideas were published in a Comment piece in Nature.
