Grant: Canada 150 Research Chairs
University of Manitoba
$625,000.00
Canada 150 Research Chair in Climate Sea Ice Coupling
FY 2018-19
Summary
The world has turned its attention to the Arctic, largely because of the rapidly shrinking sea ice cover. The increase in open water area is already having profound impacts on the energy and freshwater balance of our planet. This study will use satellite, in situ data and climate models to improve our understanding of how changes in sea ice contribute to the large-scale freshwater-marine coupling of the Arctic Ocean and how this influences large-scale weather and ocean circulation patterns, polar ecosystems and marine biogeochemistry, livelihoods of coastal communities, marine activity and resource extraction.
