Discovery of feedback between sea ice and ocean improves Arctic ice extent forecast.
Study maps pollution’s pathway to the Arctic, sets path for future research
MIT researchers have built a model that will be further developed as part of an NSF-funded project to track how chemicals get to remote Arctic environments.
On thin ice
The most recent global climate report fails to capture the reality of the changing Arctic seascape, according to MIT researchers.
