The University of Gothenburg is looking for a PhD student to study the recent changes in Arctic sea ice from remote sensing data. More specifically, to understand the emergence of “polynyas” or holes in the ice in the last ice area and determine their impact on the Earth System. In plain text: Does it matter that the sea ice is getting holes?
