Sea ice is a critical factor in our global climate, of which its current change represents the most globally recognized signal for our warming climate. Sea ice also provides habitat for a unique flora and fauna, influences exchange of gases across the ocean-ice-atmosphere interface and remains a challenge for industrial development in the Arctic Ocean. The goal of this course is to provide participating graduate students with a strong background on the importance and current knowledge of Arctic sea ice. To attain this goal, the course will combine field safety training, classroom lectures and direct field experience pertaining to physical and biogeochemical processes of the snow-covered sea-ice environment.
