The World's Most Poorly Understood Ocean is Rapidly Changing, Its Global Relevance is Growing and We Need to be Ready
The last 20 years have seen renewed interest in research in the Arctic. This research has shown us that the Arctic Ocean is a vital part of the world ocean climate system with a profound influence on the "conveyor belt" circulation of the ocean's deep waters. The formation of abundant and dynamic sea ice, low temperatures and high winds in the Arctic affect the entire Arctic system and makes travel, research and transportation in the region especially difficult, dangerous and ...
