Arctic summer sea ice: Is the picture more complex than we think?
Polar researcher Ola M. Johannessen questions how confidently we can predict the future of Arctic summer sea ice.
Arctic summer sea ice has declined substantially since satellite observations began in 1979. However, the development over the past two decades has been less straightforward, argues polar researcher and Academy member Ola M. Johannessen.
In a recent opinion piece published by High North News, Johannessen discusses the interplay between human-induced climate change and natural variability, and argues for continued research into the processes shaping Arctic sea ice.
