How Geoengineering May Thicken Arctic Sea Ice: Duration and Implications Explored

Geoengineering can thicken Arctic sea ice, but for how long?

Two companies are aiming to preserve Arctic ice by pumping water onto the sheet and letting it freeze, but only one of the trials found that this delayed melting in the summer

How Geoengineering May Thicken Arctic Sea Ice: Duration and Implications Explored

The Real Ice trial in Canada involved pumping seawater from beneath the ice sheet to the surface. Image credit: Real Ice Every winter, Canadian researchers construct approximately 7,000 kilometers of ice roads. This innovative method involves pumping water onto the surface, where it freezes, thereby thickening the ice layer for large vehicles, analogous to what’s [...] The post How Geoengineering May Thicken Arctic Sea Ice: Duration and Implicat…
