No Refuge: Tons of Trash Covers The Remote Shores of Alaska
2013-07-01 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: I am back ashore after an unusual expedition that brought scientists and artists to witness and respond to beach trash on the shores of southern Alaska. I have good and bad news. The expedition was called GYRE, partly because much of the trash spins out of the North Pacific Ocean gyre, and partly because of the trips message: what goes around comes around. The trip was conceived by the Alaska SeaLife Center and Anchorage Museum, with National Geographic and the Smithsonian involved. A resulting...

Nature World News: A high pressure system over Alaska enabled NASA to capture a rare satellite image of the state almost completely devoid of cloud cover, but the odd and unusually hot weather has some climate scientists concerned. Most days, the state is awash in clouds, which obscure much of Alaska's 6,640 miles (10,690 km) of coastline and 586,000 square miles (1,518,000 square km) of land. The image above was taken on June 17 by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Terra satellite and...
Record heat wave hits Alaska

Associated Press: Baked Alaska is taking on a new meaning this week. Temperatures in Anchorage, the country's northernmost city, reached the 80s and are expected to remain high through the weekend. Meteorologists say the jet stream, a big river of air high above Earth that dictates much of the weather for the Northern Hemisphere, is causing the unseasonably high temperatures. The jet stream has been unusually erratic the past few years. They blame it for everything from snowstorms in May to the path of Superstorm...
