Environment 360: NASA Earth Observatory Alaskas warm January As the continental U.S. faced frigid weather and major winter storms in January, Alaska experienced record high temperatures.

More coastal habitat for geese in Alaska due to rising temperatures, melting sea ice

2014-02-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Summit County: Dwindling sea ice spells trouble for polar bears and walrus colonies, but some other animals are benefiting from global warming at least for now. Warming temperatures have resulted in more high quality habitat for geese along the Arctic coast of Alaska, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study. The research focused on black brant geese that migrate by the thousands each summer to the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska to undergo their wing molt, during which time the birds are flightless...

Snows melting in Alaska and pelting the South. Whats going on?

2014-01-30 10:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Grist: Earlier this month, squeals of delight (and/or searing pain) gripped much of the country as we were collectively introduced to the wonders of the polar vortex. But now the noveltys over, and for the second time this month, an extreme weather pattern is sending Arctic weather toward the Deep South. An uncommonly sharp kink in the jet stream is partly responsible for plunging more than half of the United States into the freeze. Meanwhile, (and for the same reason), Alaska is toasty warm.
