What are the impacts of Arctic and Southern Ocean sea ice loss on marine ecosystems and fisheries? How is this ecosystem, so dependent on thick and reliable multi-year ice, going to respond to its decline and complete loss – which will occur even at 1.5°C of warming? This session features Dr. Helen Findley, Biological Oceanographer at Plymouth Marine Laboratory; Dr. Walt Meier, Senior Research Scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado; and Dr. Martin Sommerkorn, IPCC SROCC CLA and Head of Conservation of the WWF-Arctic Programme.
