Arctic geophysics
Arctic geophysics studies the Earth's physical properties and processes in the Arctic region, including its rocks, ice, and magnetic and gravitational fields. It helps understand how the Earth's interior, surface, and climate interact in this sensitive environment. This knowledge assists in monitoring ice melting, discovering natural resources, and understanding climate change's impact. Researchers use remote sensing, seismic surveys, and other techniques to explore the unique geology and geophysical phenomena of the Arctic, ultimately improving our understanding of Earth's evolving systems in one of its most extreme and important regions.
