Arctic Reflections

Arctic Reflections is a Dutch social enterprise with the mission to research and develop techniques of thickening Arctic sea ice, by pumping water from underneath the ice on top of it in winter, as a way to have more reflective ice left in summer. This is a potential climate intervention which is also listed in the UArctic compendium of Arctic climate interventions. We started this initiative with lab tests and modeling with Delft University of Technology, and have moved on to field testing in Canada and Svalbard. We aim to co-develop our method with indigeneous communities, work with ecologists to assess environmental impacts, and develop, analyze and refine the method and technology together with universities and engineering firms.
