Summarizing recent results from an Arctic sea ice paper last month on which she was co-author, Dr. Alexandra Jahn from the University of Colorado Boulder explained paper calculations of when the first occurrence of ice-free conditions in the Arctic Ocean will likely occur; and how emissions reductions today can greatly limit future ice-free periods and resulting global impacts.
