Nearly 5,700 lakes in the northern hemisphere could permanently lose ice cover this century, 179 of them in the next decade, given current greenhouse gas emissions, despite a possible polar vortex this year, researchers at York University have found. These lakes include large bays in some of the deepest of the Great Lakes, such as […]
New tool for reconstructing ancient sea ice to study climate change — ScienceDaily
Sea ice is a critical indicator of changes in the Earth’s climate. A new discovery by Brown University researchers could provide scientists a new way to reconstruct sea ice abundance and distribution information from the ancient past, which could aid in understanding human-induced climate change happening now. In a study published in Nature Communications, the […]
