Cutting Edge Drone (UAV) Based Marine Survey Equipment

Bo Krogh Aps are working closely together with Professor Peter Wadhams on several projects concerning measuring sea ice from above and below.

In 2018 Peter Wadhams published the book "A Farewell To Ice".

Most of the scientific establishment predict that the North Pole will be free of ice around the middle of this century. As Peter Wadhams, the world's leading expert on sea ice, demonstrates in this book, even this bleak assessment of the future is far too optimistic. Read fx. about "The future of Arctic sea ice - the death spiral" or "The accelerating effects of Arctic feedbacks".
