Added Arctic Data Shows Global Warming Didn’t Pause

Added Arctic Data Shows Global Warming Didn’t Pause

Gaps in Arctic temperature data caused a misperception that global warming slowed from 1998 to 2012, according to a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change. A University of Alaska Fairbanks professor and his colleagues in China built the first data set of surface temperatures from across the world that significantly improves representation of the […]

Daily Respites During a Summer-Long Walk

Daily Respites During a Summer-Long Walk

JIM RIVER — On this cobble bar north of the Arctic Circle, it is a fine day. The sky is a sheet of blue, a breeze wraps us with clean air, a sandpiper mom shrieks over her hatchlings. They are gray-blue puffballs, extra cute and almost invisible amid the stones. In short, this is a […]

A New Goldilocks for Habitable Planets

By Jim Shelton | Yale News on Aug 22, 2016   Featured, Science/Education  

A New Goldilocks for Habitable Planets

The search for habitable, alien worlds needs to make room for a second “Goldilocks,” according to a Yale University researcher. For decades, it has been thought that the key factor in determining whether a planet can support life was its distance from its sun. In our solar system, for instance, Venus is too close to […]

NASA Climate Modeling Suggests Venus May Have Been Habitable

By Michael Cabbage and Leslie McCarthy | NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies on Aug 15, 2016   Featured, Science/Education  

NASA Climate Modeling Suggests Venus May Have Been Habitable

Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history, according to computer modeling of the planet’s ancient climate by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. The findings, published this week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, […]

Warmer Air and Sea, Declining Ice Continue to Trigger Arctic Change

By NOAA on Dec 15, 2015   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Warmer Air and Sea, Declining Ice Continue to Trigger Arctic Change

A new NOAA-sponsored report shows that air temperature in 2015 across the Arctic was well above average with temperature anomalies over land more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit above average, the highest since records began in 1900. Increasing air and sea surface temperatures, decreasing sea ice extent and Greenland ice sheet mass, and changing behavior of […]

NOAA Fisheries Scientists Successfully Spawn and Hatch Arctic Cod in Captivity

By Marjorie Mooney-Seus | Alaska Fisheries Science Center on May 3, 2015   At Sea, Featured, Science/Education  

NOAA Fisheries Scientists Successfully Spawn and Hatch Arctic Cod in Captivity

So what’s the big deal about successfully growing Arctic cod in a laboratory? It represents another step forward toward understanding how these “bellwether” fish in the Arctic marine ecosystem may fare with a warming ocean and climate change.  It also opens up a new frontier to study cod development in a laboratory setting. Up until […]

NOAA: Another warm winter likely for western U.S., South may see colder weather

NOAA: Another warm winter likely for western U.S., South may see colder weather

Below average temperatures are favored in parts of the south-central and southeastern United States, while above-average temperatures are most likely in the western U.S., Alaska, Hawaii and New England, according to the U.S. Winter Outlook, issued today by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. While drought may improve in some portions of the U.S. this winter, California’s […]

Arctic Alaska a Different Kind of Place

By Ned Rozell | Geophysical Institute on Jun 13, 2014   Breaking News, Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Arctic Alaska a Different Kind of Place

Slicing through the top quarter of the Alaska map, the Arctic Circle marks the boundary of perpetual light. North of the line, the sun won’t set on summer solstice. But somehow the breezy, treeless tundra of Barrow has a more arctic feel than Fort Yukon, also poleward of the line but home to dense spruce […]
