VOICED : Scientists have front row seat to Arctic warming

Scientists are exploring the Arctic Ocean to collect samples and study trace metals and isotopes. The Amundsen Icebreaker serves as a floating lab for research that impacts global oceanic conditions. Melting ice caps threaten ocean salinity, potentially altering currents and climate. Researchers analyze ice cores to track changes in ice thickness and temperature, revealing significant warming since the Industrial Age.

What are the potential consequences of altered ocean currents due to climate change?
