Scientists from the University of Cambridge have received funding to investigate innovative methods for combating climate change, specifically through the artificial thickening of Arctic sea ice. The rapidly diminishing sea ice poses a significant threat to polar wildlife and local communities. The team will explore techniques like surface thickening by pumping seawater onto the ice to enhance its thickness during winter. Field trials are expected to begin in Canada this year, in collaboration with the Real Ice company, aiming to preserve Arctic sea ice and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
