On Thin Ice: What Is Happening with Arctic Sea Ice

On This Green Earth, Nell and Chris take a closer look at Arctic Sea Ice.

The Arctic Sea Ice reached its maximum surface area around the middle of March this year.  What was the extent of its coverage, and how much of it has already begun to melt due to the combination of natural and man-made warming?

Walt Meier, senior research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center comes on the show to answer these questions. 

Chris is the co-host of “This Green Earth”, a weekly radio show covering environmental news and issues. Broadcast on KPCW, the NPR affiliate for Park City. He also sits on the boards of Recycle Utah and Summit Community Power Works.
