Research Highlight: Arctic Sea Ice Loss Likely To Be Reversible
Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Published: 22 April 2015
Scripps researchers Wagner and Eisenman found Arctic sea ice loss is likely reversible, refuting the idea of an irreversible tipping point. Their model, incorporating overlooked heat and seasonal processes, resolves a key debate in climate science.
