Struggles Over the Melting Arctic

As Earth’s climatic system continues to alter, the polar regions of our planet are experiencing the greatest rates of change. What trends are scientists documenting in the Arctic that highlight the tremendous change our planet is currently undergoing? Rebecca McKean, Associate Professor of Geology a...
