Sea ice loss in the Arctic has triggered a critical tipping point that's destroying the food chain
Sea ice loss in the Arctic has triggered a critical tipping point that's destroying the food chain Researchers say the Arctic Ocean crossed a biological tipping point in 2009, when nitrate levels in the water suddenly started dropping due to a drastic reduction in sea ice extent. The Arctic Ocean has crossed a tipping point that is wreaking havoc on the region's food chain, with potentially dire consequences for commercial fishing and the ocean's capacity to soak up carbon, a new study...
Geoengineering can thicken Arctic sea ice, but for how long?
Each winter, Canada builds more than 7000 kilometres of ice roads, in part by drilling holes in lake ice and pumping water onto the surface, where it freezes and thickens the ice for massive vehicles, as seen in the TV series Ice Road Truckers. If we did the same thing on top of Arctic sea ice, could we thicken it enough to stop it from disappearing? That’s the question tested by geoengineering researchers in field trials in Canada and Norway in 2024 and 2025.
