Nowhere are the consequences of a warming climate more pronounced and observable than in the Polar Regions. &#8220;Frozen Obsession&#8221; follows the 18-day, 2,000-mile Northwest Passage Project expedition through the stunningly beautiful and extreme Canadian Arctic Archipelago aboard the Swedish research icebreaker Oden. Made of a diverse mixture of scientists and students, the Northwest Passage Project team studies water chemistry, microbiology, birds, mammals, and physical oceanography. As the film bears witness to a dramatically changing Arctic, we gain a sobering assessment of what&#8217;s at stake. But in a hopeful turn, the film also reveals the exhilarating, life-changing experiences of the students on this expedition, who represent the next generation of scientists and decision-makers who will surely make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Funding for this film was provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation and the Heising-Simons Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northwest Passage Project, based at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography, is pleased to announce the documentary film &#8220;Frozen Obsession&#8221; is being broadcast and streamed on PBS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2165,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[1889],"class_list":["post-171719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-arctic"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171719"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171719\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":171756,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171719\/revisions\/171756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
