Older Arctic sea ice replaced by young, thin ice, says CU-Boulder study

A new study by University of Colorado at Boulder researchers indicates older, multiyear sea ice in the Arctic is giving way to younger, thinner ice, making it more susceptible to record summer sea-ice lows like the one that occurred in 2007.
