Research conducted by ESSIC/CICS-MD scientists collaborating with the NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry (LSA) Sea Ice Research Group (http://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/sod/lsa/SeaIce/) was recently featured in a NESDIS news article, on 11 August 2015. The piece, entitled "Diminished Arctic Sea Ice Indicates a Changing Climate", was featured during the NESDIS "Arctic Week" event, 10 – 16 August, 2015. The article describes how Arctic sea ice thickness and volume continues to decline, despite year to year variability: <http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/news_archives/changing_climate.html>
