Publication Highlights
Climate signatures on lake and wetland size distributions in arctic deltas
Abstract Understanding how thermokarst lakes on arctic river deltas will respond to rapid warming is critical for projecting how carbon storage and fluxes will change in those vulnerable environments. Yet, this understanding is currently limited partly due to…
Arctic Sea Ice Growth in Response to Synoptic- and Large-Scale Atmospheric Forcing from CMIP5 Models
Abstract. We explore the response of wintertime Arctic sea ice growth to strong cyclones and to large-scale circulation patterns on the daily scale using Earth system model output in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).…
Effect of corporate sustainability policies and investment risks for future Arctic oil and gas development in Alaska
The feasibility of new Arctic oil and gas development activity is strongly tied to global supply and demand. The evolution of oil development in Alaska represents responses to external pressures such as economic viability, and changes in domestic…
Sea ice loss amplifies summer-time decadal CO2 increase in the western Arctic Ocean
Abstract. Rapid climate warming and sea-ice loss have induced major changes in the sea surface partial pressure of CO2 (𝑝CO2). However, the long-term trends in the western Arctic Ocean are unknown. Here we show that in 1994–2017, summer…
