Check out this wonderful Sonification Of Arctic Sea Ice by Judy via #soundcloud https://t.co/IwaGbwkoIh
Hear the sea ice vary over time.

I can never get enough of these awesome MODIS images. Here sea ice in the Greenland Sea is broken into small floes by waves and moved by winds and currents into lovely wisps. I want to model this.

Alan Thorndike was an inspiration to me and a truly fine person. I will miss him. https://t.co/JHQ5f7gI7Q

The Polar Science Center lost one of its founders: Alan Thorndike, inventor of the sea ice thickness distribution theory at the heart of many sea ice models. Share a memory or thought. https://t.co/6uYsLiCOym

Listen to the Keeling Curve! That's right. It's been sonified https://t.co/2Ha2yOg4Xb

[Steffen Tietsche @stietsche]

Bob Newton: 85% of Arctic sea ice is "provincial" - it melts in the same exclusive economic zone it was formed in. #polarpredict

[Cecilia Bitz @drseaice]

Lake ice can be highly dynamic. Try to predict this! https://t.co/0JEHTdL0yc

Climate model matches #seaice observation, then projects a short comeback and sudden doom. It could happen! #PPS2016

[Cecilia Bitz @drseaice]

Interest in Arctic #seaice surged after record loss Sep 2007 and 2012, spreading to the Antarctic in 2007. #PPS2016

Beautiful and sobering video "Ode to the Arctic" on #seaice by Ed BW at https://t.co/aQqcQp8Lnv, see the #polarbear on thin ice.

[Cecilia Bitz @drseaice]

Arctic #seaice extent now tied for second lowest on record for Sep. 3rd, on track to be second lowest ever soon.
