The Arctic Ocean is undergoing "Atlantification", where warm and salty Atlantic water is invading the cold and fresh Arctic water. This is causing the Arctic Ocean to lose its unique structure and stratification, which helps to maintain its low temperature and sea-ice cover. Atlantification could profoundly affect the Arctic ecosystem, climate and geopolitics, global weather patterns, and sea level rise. #Atlantification #ArcticOcean #ClimateChange https://www.iflscience.com/atlantification-how-warm-atlantic-waters-are-being-diverted-in-the-arctic-70545?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

"The Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by the 2030s, even if we do a good job of reducing emissions between now and then. That’s the worrying conclusion of a new study in Nature Communications."

Regime shift in #ArcticOcean sea #ice #thickness. We demonstrate that a simple model describing the stochastic process of dynamic sea ice thickening explains the observed ice thickness changes as a result of the reduced residence time. Our study highlights the long-lasting impact of #ClimateChange on the #Arctic #SeaIce through reduced residence time and its connection to the coupled #ocean –sea ice processes in the adjacent marginal seas and shelves of the Arctic Ocean. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05686-x

"It’s insulting that Biden thinks this will change our minds about the Willow project,” said Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.

“Protecting one area of the Arctic so you can destroy another doesn’t make sense, and it won’t help the people and wildlife who will be upended by the Willow project.”

Based on the aggressive emails that I'm receiving today, looks like it bears repeating. There are very strong differences between:
- what a #researcher really thinks and wants to do;
- how they frame it and "sell" it in the proposal;
- and how their Uni's comm person further rephrases everything to get the #media excited.

In particular, no, I do not dream of an #Arctic ocean ship highway. The best future for the open #ArcticOcean is that we leave it the F alone and #stopClimateDestruction

WALRUS

I have had the privilege of being in a Zodiac boat in the Arctic Ocean filming the walrus that surrounded us.
