This peer-reviewed educational video describes sea ice and land ice processes that are unique to polar regions. It is aimed at an undergraduate non-science major level. The video was produced by a team of CIRES scientists in collaboration with CIRES Education and Outreach. Video production was funded by Professor Jennifer Kay's CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (AGS Award 1554659).
Dr. Jen Kay is a Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and a Fellow of CIRES at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Dr. Kay remains a visiting scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, where she worked prior to joining CU Boulder. Dr. Kay works at the nexus of observations and models to understand climate change and variability. Dr. Kay’s research focuses on understanding the influence of radiation, clouds, precipitation, and sea ice processes on the globally coupled climate system.
