One of the symptoms of global warming is a decrease in the persistence of sea ice in the Arctic, which affects polar bears by increasing their access to salmon. reducing the portion of the year that they can reach seals.
arctics vanishing sea ice... the number of different genes available to a species. The more genes available, the greater likelihood that the species will be able to resist disease and survive.
27 paź 2020 · Over the Arctic Ocean, sea ice absorbs the impacts of waves and limits shoreline wave erosion. As sea ice retreats farther away from surrounding landmasses, late-summer and autumn storms stir up strong waves that crash onto shore.
15 gru 2021 · Given the long-term decline in Arctic sea ice, it is natural to wonder when the Arctic Ocean may lose its ice cover completely, at least in summer. Inherent variability in sea ice extent makes that question impossible to answer with precision.
2 paź 2011 · Sea ice reflects sunlight, keeping the Arctic region cool and moderating global climate. Monthly September ice extent has declined by 12% per decade between 1979 and 2011. Graph courtesy the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
8 paź 2010 · We have developed a coupled 3-D pan-Arctic biology/sea ice/ocean model to investigate the impact of declining Arctic sea ice on the marine planktonic ecosystem over 1988–2007. The biophysical model...
