COP-26 Cryosphere Pavilion Video of the Week: Arctic Sea Ice Projections with Walt Meier

Over the coming weeks, the Cryosphere Capsules will feature videos of some of the best and most impactful side events that took place at the Cryosphere Pavilion during COP-26 in Glasgow! First out this week is a side event on the future of Arctic sea ice, featuring Dr. Walt Meier of the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, together with Robbie Mallett, a Cryosphere Pavilion Early Career Scientist volunteer and doctoral student with Dr. Julienne Stroeve at University College London.
