Why should we care about the shrinking Arctic Sea Ice Cover?

Is the theme of the 2022 Annual Lecture, promoted by Finisterra journal, that will take place on the November 11th, at 16h30 (Lisbon-Portugal time), in a hybrid format (insite and online).

Julienne C. Stroeve (University of Manitoba, Canada) is the invited speaker for this session.

PhD in Geography (1996), University of Colorado - Boulder. Professor and Research Chair in Climate - Sea Ice Coupling, at the Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS), University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. Senior Research Scientist, for more than twenty years, at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC/CIRES), University of Colorado, Boulder, USA. Professor of Polar Observation and Modelling, Department of Earth Science, University College London, UK (2016-2019). Awardee of the Julia and Johannes Weertman Medal by the European Geosciences Union in 2020 for “her fundamental contributions to improved satellite observations of sea ice, better understanding of causes of sea ice variability and change, and her compelling communication to the wider public.”

Since 2014 she has been consecutively recognized as highly cited researcher by the Clarivate Web of Science. J. Stroeve has been conducting research on remote sensing of snow and ice, with a current focus on snow depth and ice thickness from satellite altimetry, attribution studies for sea ice variability and implications of continued ice loss on climate, marine ecosystems, and local communities. Her Arctic research interests are wide-ranging, and include atmosphere-sea ice interactions, synoptic climatology, sea ice predictability, remote sensing, climate change and impacts on native communities. She has conducted field work in Greenland, Canada, the Arctic Ocean, and over snow-covered regions within the United States. Efforts over the past decade has increasingly focused on trying to make sense of the rapid environmental changes being observed in the Arctic and what these changes will mean for the rest of the planet.
