The sea ice surrounding Antarctica has increased in extent and concentration from the late 1970s, when satellite-based measurements began, until 2015. This behavior has presented a conundrum for global climate change science. This workshop explored potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent Antarctic sea ice variability and discussed ways to advance understanding of Antarctic sea ice and its relationship to the broader ocean-climate system.

The sea ice surrounding Antarctica has increased in extent and concentration from the late 1970s, when satellite-based measurements began, until 2015. Although this increasing trend is modest, it is surprising given the overall warming of the global climate and the region. Indeed, climate models, wh...
