Sea ice is a relatively fragile part of the Earth system, important for the understanding of a wide range of subjects, from climate, to biodiversity, to society and culture. This symposium will present an opportunity for participants from all fields related to sea ice to present their work, learn from the work of others, and form interdisciplinary collaborations. The suggested topics are intentionally interdisciplinary, including physical, biological, chemical, and socio-economic research on sea ice.
