The loss of Arctic sea ice may be associated with many recent extreme weather events: from droughts and wildfires in the United States and Canadian West, to flooding in Germany and northern Europe. This event explored the evidence for a connection between Arctic sea ice loss and extreme weather patterns at lower latitudes, featuring Dr. Walt Meier, Senior Research Scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado; and Robbie Mallet, PhD Candidate at University College London.
