polar marine science

Polar marine science studies the unique oceans and ecosystems in Earth's polar regions—Arctic and Antarctic. It explores how cold temperatures, ice patterns, and unique wildlife interact and influence the global climate. Scientists investigate ocean currents, sea ice dynamics, and the impact of climate change on these fragile environments. Understanding polar marine systems helps us learn about Earth's climate history, sea level changes, and the adaptive strategies of polar species, guiding conservation efforts and predicting future environmental shifts in a rapidly changing world.
