'Last Ice Area' In the Arctic Faces Faster Melting Than Predicted Research Overview: The Last Ice Area's Vulnerability Research from McGill University employing high-resolution modeling reveals that the Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA), crucial for ice-dependent species, could vanish within a decade following the central Arctic Ocean's summer ice loss projected by mid-century. The research findings were recently published in Communications Earth & Environment . Previous Predictions vs. New Findings Earlier studies based on lower-resolution models suggested the LIA might endure for decades longer. This stability is key to maintaining habitats for ice-reliant species such as polar bears, seals and ivory gulls. Implications for Arctic Ecosystems "The results highlight the pressing need to mitigate warming to secure the stability of the LIA and essential Arctic habitats," stated Madeleine Fol, lead author, based on her Master's thesis.
