The image shows sea ice coverage in 1980 (bottom) and 2012 (top), as observed by passive microwave sensors on NASA’s Nimbus-7 satellite and by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Multi-year ice is shown in bright white, while average sea ice cover is shown in light blue to milky white. The data shows the ice cover for the period of November 1 through January 31 in their respective years.

This year’s conference, presented in collaboration with the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, draws together experts and researchers from the climate change knowledge community. They will be discussing 2015’s special focus: "Whose climate? Negotiating the governance of environmental change."
