The University of Colorado-Boulder has released a 30-minute documentary called "Into the Polar Night," documenting the first three months of the MOSAIC mission to study Arctic ice and the impact of climate change. CU's and NOAA's atmospheric scientist Matthew Shupe is among the coordinating researchers of the project. He spoke with Colorado Matters in September 2019 as he set out for the Arctic.
