From Satellites to Social Media: Understanding and Communicating the Impacts of Climate Change in the Arctic Ocean

The Arctic Ocean is one of the most rapidly changing environments on the planet. Climate change has begun to shift primary productivity across the region, with likely effects on higher trophic levels of the marine food web. Dr. Rosengard’s project aimed to improve scientific and community-based understanding of Arctic Ocean change by compiling and sharing relevant remote sensing data sets among northern communities along the Canadian Arctic coastline.
