Lauren Kipp, OFI International Postdoctoral Fellow, provides a first-person account of her 65-day voyage in the Arctic Ocean for Oceanus Magazine, sharing her observations on how climate change is impacting the north. "Large scale changes are occurring in how the ocean interacts with the land along the coasts," she writes. "They signal changes that potentially could affect the Arctic food chain, from microbial life right up to polar bears."
