Hello @twhiteaker 

using http://www.epsg-registry.org/export.htm?wkt=urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::6931 as 
a start point, we can adjust the datum definition and name as follows

(disclaimer, this is a draft, please check the contents)

```
PROJCRS["NSIDC EASE-Grid 1.0 North",
  BASEGEODCRS["GCS_Sphere_International_1924_Authalic",
    DATUM["D_Sphere_International_1924_Authalic",
      
ELLIPSOID["Sphere_International_1924_Authalic",6371228.0,0.0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0]],
  CONVERSION["US NSIDC EASE-Grid 1.0 North",
    METHOD["Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area",ID["EPSG",9820]],
    PARAMETER["Latitude of natural 
origin",90,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],
    PARAMETER["Longitude of natural 
origin",0,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],
    PARAMETER["False easting",0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]],
    PARAMETER["False northing",0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]]],
  CS[cartesian,2],
    AXIS["easting 
(X)",south,MERIDIAN[90,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],ORDER[1]],
    AXIS["northing 
(Y)",south,MERIDIAN[180,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],ORDER[2]],
    LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]]
```

note, you can check syntax for errors with a modern version of proj 
(e.g.proj-6.2.1) 

```
projinfo 'PROJCRS["NSIDC EASE-Grid 1.0 North",
>   BASEGEODCRS["GCS_Sphere_International_1924_Authalic",
>     DATUM["D_Sphere_International_1924_Authalic",
>       
> ELLIPSOID["Sphere_International_1924_Authalic",6371228.0,0.0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]]],
>     PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0]],
>   CONVERSION["US NSIDC EASE-Grid 1.0 North",
>     METHOD["Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area",ID["EPSG",9820]],
>     PARAMETER["Latitude of natural 
> origin",90,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],
>     PARAMETER["Longitude of natural 
> origin",0,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],
>     PARAMETER["False easting",0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]],
>     PARAMETER["False northing",0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]]],
>   CS[cartesian,2],
>     AXIS["easting 
> (X)",south,MERIDIAN[90,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],ORDER[1]],
>     AXIS["northing 
> (Y)",south,MERIDIAN[180,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.01745329252]],ORDER[2]],
>     LENGTHUNIT["metre",1.0]]'
PROJ.4 string:
+proj=laea +lat_0=90 +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +R=6371228 +units=m +no_defs 
+type=crs

```
(though also note that projinfo also outputs it's own adapted WKT, which may 
have ID entries that you do not want)

I hope this helps
