"Sea Ice Changes Under Global Warming" (Global Warming) is for parents and families interested in the complex issue of Arctic shift. You can listen to the entire talk by Professor Wadhams or simply pick the episodes that you are most interested in.

Global Warming brings the issue of sea thickness to life and coupled with the chart and graph illustrations, demonstrates the real issues facing the planet today. It provides support for the demonstration of independent learning with homework assignments and also gives the whole family the opportunity to learn about the Arctic sea ice thickness.

Aimed at adult learning and that of older children, this resource supports independent project research¹.

Global Warming provides a great opportunity for families to share their interest in this complex and fascinating subject and to learn from one of the leading experts in the field of Arctic sea ice. ¹ The new Extended Project (UK) qualification would be ideal as it encourages extensive independent research into a topic that students are interested in.

"Sea Ice Changes Under Global Warming" (Global Warming) is an ideal homework resource. This is a detailed presentation by a leading professor in his field, on the subject of sea ice. The presentation provides a wealth of detail on the subject.

Helpfully separated into episodes, each episode covers a different topic. From the history of sea ice cover retreat to the scientists’ methods for measuring sea ice thickness that range from submarines through to less conventional methods.

The Global Warming presentation is also ideal for undergraduates studying engineering or geography.

The final episodes on the change in convection on the Greenland Sea and the emergence of pancake ice bring the presentation right up to the present day and explain the aim of the Catlin Arctic Survey.
