Photographs taken by Mr. Swanstrom several hours after the slide showed a dark mass spread over...

Only ice, said Gladys Hale-Abraham, which provided broken bones for the elderly or young children who took tumbles on the frozen paths. Beverly Hugo, of Barrow, was laid up over last winter with a broken ankle from a slip and fall after unusual winter rains turned walkways to...

As Alaska warms, methane emissions appear stable

ScienceDaily: Analysis of nearly three decades of air samples from Alaska's North Slope shows little change in long-term methane emissions despite significant Arctic warming over that time period, according to new research published in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. Scientists estimate that Arctic permafrost, a thick layer of frozen soil that encircles the globe, contains two and a half times as much carbon as has been emitted since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution....
