Global climate changes studied via multidisciplinary observations in rapid retreating sea-ice regions with bipolar perspectives

Abstract

Koreas lately commissioned icebreaker Aron is a vehicle for long-term, multidisciplinary observations, where multinational collaborations are cordially invited to. The Korean polar program plans to focus on and link between Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice regions where ice has retreated rapidly in recent years. The research aims to elucidate the roles of sea ice and nearby waters in larger scale climate changes, and to examine the responses of the system
