Telecommunications cable used to track sea ice extent in the Arctic
A telecommunications fiber optic cable deployed offshore of Oliktok Point, Alaska recorded ambient seismic noise that can be used to finely track the formation and retreat of sea ice in the area, researchers report in The Seismic Record.
The first complete picture of Arctic sea ice freeze-thaw cycle highlights sea ice response to climate change
Years of research show that climate change signals are amplified in the Arctic, and that sea ice in this region is sensitive to increases in Arctic warming.
