🌍🧊 Sea ice plays a bigger role for the global climate than we thought. The #EUfunded @CRiceS_H2020 project is improving climate models by integrating complex polar processes – making projections more accurate for a changing world. 👉 https://t.co/yqoAq6OqVR #CORDIS

CRiceS PhD student Arundathi Chandrasekharan presents evaluation of EC-Earth simulations against MOSAiC observations at the EC-Earth General Assembly in Stockholm. EC-Earth is an Earth system model developed by a European meteorological services and research institutes.

🎉 Exciting Announcement: New Paper!

In a recent study @waynedj & @MarcelloVichi examined the relationship between Antarctic sea ice rotation and atmospheric conditions. Read a summary of their findings: https://t.co/MumVulD2V6

The CRiceS policy brief highlights recent research and six recommendations, stressing that the multitude & cascading impacts of Arctic change within and beyond the region, requires coherent policy responses and cross-border cooperation. ➡️Read more:

Regional warming, extreme weather events, and increased rainfall trigger initial impacts that can propagate and eventually become risks or opportunities that would require adaptation in areas even beyond the Arctic.

Warming in the polar regions gives rise to climate effects and environmental change with wide-reaching consequences for nature and society, both near to, and far from the poles.

🧵The Arctic and Antarctic are warming faster than the rest of the world, with the Arctic facing reduced sea ice, thawing permafrost, increased wildfires, and ecosystem shifts, while Antarctica sees rapid ice sheet melt & disruptions to marine ecosystems.
