Dr. Dirk Notz co-authored the above paper and spoke at the Cryosphere Pavilion at COP25 in Madrid, offering insight on historical trends in Arctic sea ice, its far-reaching significance for ecosystems and weather patterns, and how its rapid decline amplifies Arctic warming today. “The disappearance of Arctic sea ice, in addition to everything that it does for the climate system, is one of the most important warning signs that the climate system as a whole is sending out: there are massive change going on in the climate system of our planet, and we see it first in the Arctic and in this incredibly fast loss of Arctic sea ice.” Dr. Notz is based out of the University of Hamburg, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and served as an IPCC Lead Author for the AR6 chapter on Ocean, Cryosphere and Sea Level Change.
