Project lead for an online and print article on climate change in the arctic
The Arctic's dwindling sea ice is one of the most visible signs of climate change. Many people will know that the ice is melting faster than ever before but few might understand why it is melting and especially what this has to do with snow. In this story, we follow three scientists on a year-long expedition to the Arctic as they try to unravel what is at stake for this fragile ecosystem.
The article features illustrations and animations – optimised for a mobile reading experience – to bring the remote Arctic and complex climate processes closer to our readers. Infographics and data visualisations convey the newest findings and tell the tale of scientific discovery. All these elements are interwoven with anecdotes from the scientists who tell us how they witness and document a changing world.
