Some good news from the thin ice

By Ned Rozell | Geophysical Institute on Nov 13, 2020   Featured, Science/Education, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Some good news from the thin ice

Ice that floats on far-north oceans has been dwindling the last few years. Scientists have described the shrinking of this solar reflector — once bigger than Russia and now taking up less space than Australia — as a breakdown of the world’s refrigerator. But a group of researchers have found a sliver of good news […]

Hidden Source of Carbon Found on the Arctic Coast

By NSF Public Affairs on Apr 3, 2020   Featured, Science/Education, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Hidden Source of Carbon Found on the Arctic Coast

  Overlooked carbon source contributes to local coastal ecosystems A previously unknown, significant source of carbon discovered in the Arctic has National Science Foundation-funded scientists surprised — and concerned about what it may mean in an era of climate change. In a Nature Communications paper, chemists and hydrologists from The University of Texas at Austin and other institutions present evidence […]

Keeping the Carbon in Alaska Forests

Keeping the Carbon in Alaska Forests

  A scientist has an idea for reducing global carbon-dioxide emissions — fight Alaska forest fires more aggressively. Carly Phillips, an ecologist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, thinks there is a unique Alaska opportunity to keep carbon in the soil, and in tissues of living trees and other plants. “Alaska stores nearly one half […]

Amazon Forest Regrowth Much Slower Than Previously Thought

Amazon Forest Regrowth Much Slower Than Previously Thought

  The regrowth of Amazonian forests following deforestation can happen much slower than previously thought, a new study shows. The findings could have significant impacts for climate change predictions as the ability of secondary forests to soak up carbon from the atmosphere may have been over-estimated. The study, which monitored forest regrowth over two decades, […]

Shift in Tundra Shrub Growth Could Release More Atmospheric Carbon

Shift in Tundra Shrub Growth Could Release More Atmospheric Carbon

University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists presented their work at the American Geophysical Union’s fall meeting in San Francisco this week. Here are some research highlights from the world’s largest Earth and space science meeting. A decades-old research project on Alaska’s North Slope indicates that deciduous shrubs shift more carbon from the soil to the atmosphere […]

UN: Greenhouse Gasses Reach Record High

Atmospheric levels of climate-changing greenhouse gases hit a record high in 2018, “with no sign of a slowdown, let alone a decline,” the World Meteorological Organization said. In a report released Monday, the WMO said despite international pledges made under the Paris Agreement, the levels of carbon monoxide, methane and nitrous oxide all surged by […]

Electric Vehicles are Alaska’s Future

Electric Vehicles are Alaska’s Future

On Tuesday night, Anchorage residents gathered to celebrate National Drive Electric Week and learn more about the national and local market for electric vehicles. National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration to heighten awareness of today’s widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, motorcycles, and […]

NGOs Vent Frustration Over Lack of Action on Shipping’s Black Carbon Emissions

NGOs Vent Frustration Over Lack of Action on Shipping’s Black Carbon Emissions

  London:– As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 74) closed today in London, the Clean Arctic Alliance expressed frustration over Members States’ failure to address the risk to the Arctic from emissions of black carbon from international shipping [1]. A proposal by the Clean Shipping Coalition and Clean […]

Carbon Dioxide Sample From Utqiaġvik Provides Wake-up Call on Climate

Carbon Dioxide Sample From Utqiaġvik Provides Wake-up Call on Climate

NOAA scientist Bryan Thomas stands outside the Barrow Atmospheric Baseline Observatory. How does the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere measured at Hawai‘i’s Mauna Loa volcano over the last six decades compare with the air above Alaska? During a recent spring trip to Utqiaġvik, I had a chance to find out by visiting the […]
