Unprecedented Research Reveals Influences on Arctic Sea Ice Motion

A new study led by researchers at Brown University reveals the influence of local tidal currents and the makeup of the seafloor on the movement and dispersal of sea ice in the rapidly warming Arctic Ocean. The research provides unprecedented insights into the dynamics of sea ice and its response to different ocean currents. The findings can be used to improve computer simulations for forecasting Arctic sea ice conditions and contribute to a better understanding of how climate change is affecting the Arctic.
