Being able to make real-time predictions of sea ice extent has become crucial for monitoring sea ice health, and in Chaos, researchers report accurate, real-time predictions of SIE in Arctic regions. The researchers’ approach treats sea ice evolution as a set of atmospheric and oceanic factors that oscillate at different rates while still interacting with one another. They used the National Snow and Ice Data Center’s average daily SIE measurements from 1978 onward to find the relationships between these factors that affect sea ice.

A University of Calgary-led international research team has identified a genetic factor that may explain why people respond so differently to opioid pain medications, and why some individuals face greater risk of side effects including dependency.

The study, published in Neuron, involved researchers from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM), Cumming School of Medicine (CSM), and Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI), and provides new clinical insight that could lead to personalized strategies to optimize pain management.
