UAF scientists to hunt for clues about Arctic Ocean glaciation

Evidence indicates a thick ice sheet, not annual sea ice and icebergs, covered the Arctic Ocean at some point during the last 140,000 years. Now, University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists will be looking for more geologic proof of the ice sheet’s existence, sources, behavior and extent. UAF Geophysical Institute scientists will focus on the Beaufort and […]

GINA provides a guiding hand in Arctic Ocean research

The research vessel Sikuliaq navigated among and around the chunks and slabs of Arctic sea ice above Alaska for several weeks on two voyages this fall, breaking through frozen slabs when it had to just as its sturdy hull is designed to do.  Satellite imagery produced at the Geographic Information Network of Alaska, or GINA, at the University […]

Geophysics professor sails north in search of deep-sea answer

How one of the two large basins underlying the Arctic Ocean formed during the Mesozoic Era remains a mystery to scientists. It’s one that geophysics professor Bernard Coakley of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is hoping to unravel as he leads an international research project that set sail this week aboard the UAF […]

Researchers Investigate the Correlation between Wind and Wave Height in the Arctic Ocean

Researchers Investigate the Correlation between Wind and Wave Height in the Arctic Ocean

An international research team led by Takuji Waseda, a professor of the University of Tokyo, Japan, has found an increase in high waves and winds in the ice-free waters of the Arctic Ocean, a potentially dangerous navigational tipping point for the “new and unusual” state of the waters. The research was conducted as part of […]
