The Arctic surface temperature has been increasing significantly and is rising twice as fast as the global mean.  The extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice is rapidly declining, and is consecutively below the average of 1981 – 2010 in all seasons since 2010. The Arctic sea ice has currently been on record low extent since the beginning of 2016. Meantime the Greenland ice sheet has experienced excessive surface melt. Why is Arctic sea ice disappearing so rapidly? What are the impacts of Arctic warming? How will Greenland ice sheet respond to the disappearing of Arctic sea ice?
