Alec Luhn

Alec Luhn, a Pulitzer Center Ocean Reporting Fellow and feature author on Arctic sea ice in Scientific American, shares his insights from reporting in the Arctic. He discusses the alarming 40% shrinkage of year-round sea ice and controversial geoengineering solutions like Real Ice aimed at refreezing it. Luhn examines the potential benefits and drawbacks of these initiatives as the U.K. government invests in experimental approaches. He also highlights the ecological impacts on Arctic ecosystems and Indigenous communities relying on this increasingly fragile environment.
