I had a great couple of days in #NYC Climate Week, meeting many people. Highlight was being able to tell something about our mission at Arctic Reflections to preserve Arctic sea ice, at the "Hope for the Cryosphere" panel discussion organized by Ocean Visions. Thanks again Brad Ack and Kerry Nickols, Ph.D. for the invitation, and for the organization! Ocean Visions' groundbreaking assessment work on pathways to preserve Arctic sea ice is very well researched, and makes a clear case that while rapid CO2-emission reductions are absolutely necessary, they are not enough anymore to avoid a first virtually ice-free summer. Have a look at Ocean Visions' interactive roadmap: https://lnkd.in/enNY58W2 My week on the other side of the ocean ended at CDL-Atlantic in #Halifax, again meeting many people with expertise in ocean-related initiatives. A trip well spent!
Over ons
We are committed to halting the rapid disappearance of Arctic sea ice, which serves as the world’s refrigerator by reflecting the sun’s heat back into space through its white ice sheets.

🌍❄️ Arctic Reflections: Field Test results released ❄️ We are thrilled to share the Research Summary Report from our April 2024 field test in Svalbard! As many of you know, Arctic Reflections is committed to restoring Arctic Sea Ice as part of the fight against global warming. In this field test we rigorously tested ice thickening by pumping water from beneath the ice onto the surface to speed up freezing. 📊 Key Highlights: - We collected nearly 100 ice cores to measure salinity, density, temperature, and thickness. - Remote monitoring equipment was installed to track the thickened ice and a reference ice site until it fully melted by June 19th. - This one-of-a-kind dataset, along with detailed data-gathering methods, will be openly shared with the scientific community in an upcoming publication. This is just the first step in validating the effectiveness of Arctic Ice Thickening to preserve natural habitats and maintain sea ice as a crucial reflective surface. We’re already planning our next winter project, building on the insights from this field test to further validate the potential impact and scalability of our innovative approach. 📄 Click on the link below to access the full Research Summary Report : https://lnkd.in/e7TRnmTW Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions! #ClimateAction #ArcticReflections #SeaIceRestoration #GlobalWarming #OceanDecade #OceanVisions #Innovation #Sustainability #Research

We are excited to have been admitted to the Oceans Stream at CDL-Atlantic! Creative Destruction Lab is a great mentorship program for ocean-oriented initiatives like ours, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We are looking forward to engage with the mentors of the program, and becoming part of the thriving Canadian ocean start-up ecosystem. #buildsomethingmassive

Today is Arctic Sea Ice Day! The importance of sea ice as a regulator for the global climate cannot be overstated. Also, sea ice is crucial to support Arctic biodiversity, and indigeneous ways of living in the Arctic. Image courtesy of Polar Bears International
