Climate Scientists Chase Arctic Storms | |
Researchers from the University of Reading are "chasing" Arctic cyclones over the sea ice, north of Norway. The team of scientists - together with a specialist pilot - are trying to fly their small research aircraft through summer cyclones at very low levels. | |
Climate Change Forces Arctic Whales North | |
New research shows that the narwhale, bowhead whale and beluga are moving north. Rising temperatures in the ocean is to blame and scientists warn against the consequences this will have for other species in Arctic waters. | |
Boreal Forest on the Move | |
A newly discovered population of white-spruce trees is advancing northwards in Arctic Alaska, driven by ecological factors that are associated with climate change at this latitude — including stronger winter winds, deeper snow and greater nutrient availability in the soil. | |
[Opinion] The State Department Must Step up on Arctic Diplomacy | |
When it comes to Arctic policy, there is no shortage of steps we can take. One is ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty, to prevent other nations from making territorial claims that deprive the U.S. of vital access and resources. Another is passage of my Arctic Commitment Act, which focuses on regional security, shipping, research, and trade. But the quickest and most obvious step is for the State Department to elevate its efforts on Arctic diplomacy, which the Biden administration can immediately do on its own. | |

Implementing Genetics Into Fisheries Management: Case Studies in Alaska Fisheries
| Successful implementation of genetic stock structure into fisheries management plans involves a series of complicated steps, from identification of genetic stock structure to interpretation in a management context, and development of an appropriate plan for incorporating the information into management. Join the NOAA Science Seminar Series for a discussion about how simulation studies support the use of 'Omics in catch allocation, as well as several examples where genomics has (and has not) supported the implementation of new management units. | |
