Arctic Sea Ice Road Maps

Knowledge Gaps

Physical science / mechanism

Version published: 
  • Is there potential for protected areas specifically in the Arctic to have climate benefits? 
  • Does limiting shipping activity have an impact on Arctic sea ice extent?  
  • Would protecting regions from shipping traffic impact albedo?  
    • Does icebreaking increase ice cover because it exposes more surface area? Is that ice then younger and darker, decreasing albedo?
