Revealing the New Arctic: A Climate Change Communication Workshop; San Francisco, California, 16 December 2015
Arctic
Arctic Survey Hunts for Missing Nitrogen and Phosphorus
A new survey of ocean waters flowing in and out of the Arctic may shed light on how dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus contribute to nutrient cycling in the Arctic.
AOMIP and FAMOS for Enhancing Understanding of Arctic Changes
This community-based approach to modeling provides a unique forum for coordination, investigation, and synthesis.
Evidence of an Extinct Ocean Basin Detected Beneath Greenland
An analysis of a seismic and gravity anomaly discovered in the middle mantle sheds new light on ancient oceans, the mantle's evolution, and ancient magmatism in the Arctic.
Unmanned Platforms Monitor the Arctic Atmosphere
In the Arctic, drones and tethered balloons can make crucial atmospheric measurements to provide a unique perspective on an environment particularly vulnerable to climate change.
Building New Ways to Think About Arctic Freshwater
A new literature review summarizes the complex role of freshwater in the Arctic and its impact on climate and biogeochemical systems as a whole.
Arctic Tides Drive Water Mixing and Sea Ice Loss
Researchers model ice-ocean interaction to study how tides can influence Arctic Ocean circulation and sea ice volume.
Sounding the Northern Seas
A new compilation of underwater terrain provides the most up-to-date mapping of portions of the western Arctic and North Pacific.
Small Rivers Could Have Big Impact on Arctic Ocean
The Mackenzie River carries the bulk of freshwater flow from North America's tundra to the North Atlantic. But what about the effects of smaller rivers from Canada's Arctic islands?
Simulating a Warmer, Drier Arctic
Field experiments examine the effect of rising temperatures and drying soils on carbon dynamics in the Arctic.
