Years ago, Professor Barber released a study that showed Arctic sea ice had duped satellites into reporting thick multiyear sea ice where in fact none existed, raising doubts about the accuracy of satellite data.Sea-Ice Environmental Research Facility (SERF), University of Manitoba , alex paul story FEB. 12 2014 / KEN GIGLIOTTI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
