EDUCATION: 1972 Ph The fate of older sea ice in the Arctic may be key to the future of polar bears. In late summer of 2005, sea ice covering Arctic waters shrank to the lowest extent ever measured in nearly thirty years of satellite records. This record low was quickly shattered in 2007, and nearly again in 2008; yet these lows were only the exclamation points in decades of decline, a trend that scientists say is increasingly unlikely to slow or reverse. The changes that cascade from dwindling Arctic sea ice affect polar bears, whose lives are closely tied to seasonal ice cycles. George Durner, a research zoologist said, “Polar bears evolved to take advantage of an empty niche on the surface of the sea ice, which is key to their survival.” The 2005 record low spurred the United States Department of the Interior to ask for scientific projections of polar bear survival and population trends into the 21st century. The news was not good: if sea ice declines at the rate that scientific models predict, only one-third of the world’s polar bears will s
