University researchers have helped secure £13million for an Arctic research project that will track the rapidly changing fortunes of the frozen north.
The Arctic is on the frontline of global climate change, warming at twice the speed of the rest of the world. Last year alone saw record summer temperatures in Siberia, wildfires rage across sensitive northern tundra and Arctic sea ice shrunk to its smallest ever extent.
Now Professor Jonathan Bamber from the University of Bristol has helped secure a €15million (£13m) grant for a global project that will comprehensively track how the Arctic is changing.
