Abstract

Satellite images document a decrease in Arctic ice cover in summer by 40% during the past
30 years. However, responsible processes and possible consequences of this decrease are little understood. The joint Russian-German project „Laptev Sea Polynya“ is coordinated by IFM-GEOMAR
and aims to ascertain the causes and consequences of climate change and its essential
mechanisms in the Arctic. Now the project scientists revealed a changed water mass distribution
in the Siberian Laptev Sea which might be of consequence for ice formation in the whole
Arctic.
