I learned a great deal about the Arctic and enjoyed the lectures.
It is a great course on the Arctic and its consequences on the earth as it influences the Northern Hemisphere
Arctic Meltdown
This specialization starts with an in-depth look at the physical geography of the Arctic and its key climate features, including the ocean's floating sea ice cover, the Greenland Ice Sheet, and patterns of temperature, precipitation, snow cover and permafrost. We will then learn about the remarkable unfolding changes that are transforming the Arctic environment, how they are related to each other, and cascading impacts on terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Attention then turns to the growing economic, strategic, and geopolitical importance of the Arctic in the context of observed environmental changes in the region.

Not as good as the first two. More moralism here. But still useful info. Another broken video.

Reviewed Mar 11, 2021Course: Intro to the ArcticI am from Canada's Arctic and learned more about sea ice formation because I am from an area of freshwater. It was interesting to learn about ocean salinity, reading weather maps, and learning more about other areas of the Arctic like Russia and Norway.
