DeWeaver (U. of Wisconsin-Madison), Bitz (U. of Washington, Seattle), and Trembly (McGill U., Montreal) present a collection of papers addressing several questions surrounding Arctic sea ice decline. The twelve chapters, written by 30-plus researchers and academics from the U.S., Canada, and France, offer an historical look at sea ice change in recent years and findings from reconstructions of Arctic sea ice conditions prior to human observations, consider mechanisms responsible for sea ice sensitivity in observations and climate model simulations, examine the extent to which true threshold behavior is implicated in climate model simulations that produce a seasonally ice-free Arctic in the 21st century, and describe a new modeling approach for assessing the impact of sea ice decline on polar bears. Illustrated throughout with b&w and color diagrams, charts, and tables, the text is intended for specialists and interested non-specialists with some background in physical climatology.
