A Changing Climate, A Changing Arctic with Dr. John Walsh

In this specific lesson, Dr. John Walsh discusses how climate change is apparent throughout the Arctic (air, land, ice, and ocean) and that these changes are already impacting humans, wildlife, and the environment.

This video is part of a collection called “Frozen in the Ice: Exploring the Arctic,” offered through the online course platform Coursera, about the extraordinary MOSAiC Arctic research mission that has frozen an icebreaker into the Arctic Ocean, where it will drift for 13 months (mosaic-expedition.org).

In this course, you’ll hear directly from more than three dozen MOSAiC scientists and Arctic experts as they summarize the core of their research, what types of data they collect during MOSAiC on the ice, under the sea, and in the air and describe why this expedition is so key for increasing our understanding of the Arctic and global climate systems.
