UAF researchers to present at AGU press briefing
Date:12/16/2008

Modelers have predicted that the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in late summer by as early as the mid-21st century. "If this happens one of our major concerns is that entire ecosystems in the far north where there is currently perennial sea ice will vanish," said Walker.

The Greening of the Arctic project received funding from NASA and the National Science Foundation. It is part of UAF's work during the International Polar Year, an international event that is focusing research efforts and public attention on the Earth's polar regions.
