Zoom Webinar
Past Event
Open to the Public
The annual melting and freezing of sea ice constitute one of the largest seasonal phenomena on our planet. NYUAD researchers are working to advance our understanding of how sea ice changes, as anticipating future changes is of critical importance to the overall state of the climate system. This talk describes what sea ice is, why it’s an essential part of the climate system, and how we have observed and understood it since the Heroic Age of Exploration up until the modern satellite era.
* Time: 6:30pm Gulf Standard Time
