We will investigate the causes and consequences of

CLIMAREST will be developed on a latitudinal gradient

However, not all the Atlantic [...] In the last few decades, the Arctic sea ice has receded ever further, including increasingly in winter when the extent of sea ice is at its most prominent. One of the main drivers of this development is
