‘The Blob,’ Food Supply Squeeze to Blame for Largest Seabird Die-off

‘The Blob,’ Food Supply Squeeze to Blame for Largest Seabird Die-off

  The common murre is a self-sufficient, resilient bird. Though the seabird must eat about half of its body weight in prey each day, common murres are experts at catching the small “forage fish” they need to survive. Herring, sardines, anchovies and even juvenile salmon are no match for a hungry murre. So when nearly […]

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 […]

Deep Trouble for Arctic and Beyond: NOAA Climate Report Warns of Feedback Loop That ‘May Already Be Underway’

Deep Trouble for Arctic and Beyond: NOAA Climate Report Warns of Feedback Loop That ‘May Already Be Underway’

“If this were an annual health check-up, I think we’d have to say that the Arctic is chronically sick and getting worse.”  In addition to warning that “the feedback to accelerating climate change may already be underway,” the U.S. government’s latest report on conditions in the Arctic reveals that temperatures in the region are persistently warming, […]

Arctic Could Be Iceless in September if Temps Increase Two Degrees

By Michael Miller | University of Cincinnati on Sep 7, 2019   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Arctic Could Be Iceless in September if Temps Increase Two Degrees

Arctic sea ice could disappear completely through September each summer if average global temperatures increase by as little as 2 degrees, according to a new study by the University of Cincinnati. The study by an international team of researchers was published in Nature Communications. “The target is the sensitivity of sea ice to temperature,” said Won […]

Icelandic Glaciologist Feels a Weighty Responsibility

Icelandic Glaciologist Feels a Weighty Responsibility

   Video: Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir, also known as Tolly, a glaciologist and university professor from Iceland, recommends people watch Swedish high-school student Greta Thunberg’s presentation. Youtube Icelanders will soon install a plaque they hope people will read, long after those who bolted it to a mountain are dead. Near a withering glacier, the sign reads: […]

2018 Fourth Warmest Year in Continued Warming Trend, According to NASA, NOAA

By Steve Cole | NASA on Feb 7, 2019   Featured, Science/Education  

2018 Fourth Warmest Year in Continued Warming Trend, According to NASA, NOAA

 Earth’s global surface temperatures in 2018 were the fourth warmest since 1880, according to independent analyses by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Global temperatures in 2018 were 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.83 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 1951 to 1980 mean, according to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies […]

Melting Ice Sheets may Cause ‘Climate Chaos’ According to New Modelling

By Katherine Gombay | McGill University on Feb 7, 2019   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Melting Ice Sheets may Cause ‘Climate Chaos’ According to New Modelling

Current international climate policies do not take into account full effects on global climate The weather these days is wild and will be wilder still within a century. In part, because the water from melting ice sheets off Greenland and in the Antarctic will cause extreme weather and unpredictable temperatures around the globe. A study […]

Wintertime Arctic Sea Ice Growth Slows Long-Term Decline: NASA

By Maria-Jose Vinas | NASA on Dec 8, 2018   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Wintertime Arctic Sea Ice Growth Slows Long-Term Decline: NASA

New NASA research has found that increases in the rate at which Arctic sea ice grows in the winter may have partially slowed down the decline of the Arctic sea ice cover. As temperatures in the Arctic have warmed at double the pace of the rest of the planet, the expanse of frozen seawater that […]

Pacific Ocean’s Effect on Arctic Warming

By Summer Praetorius | Carnegie Institution for Science on Nov 28, 2018   Featured, The Arctic and Alaska Science  

Pacific Ocean’s Effect on Arctic Warming

  [dropcap]P[/dropcap]alo Alto, CA– New research, led by former Carnegie postdoctoral fellow Summer Praetorius, shows that changes in the heat flow of the northern Pacific Ocean may have a larger effect on the Arctic climate than previously thought. The findings are published in the August 7, 2018, issue of Nature Communications. The Arctic is experiencing larger […]
