Planktic foraminiferal data and temperature reconstructions of upper Atlantic Water in the eastern Fram Strait over the past ~2100 years from sediment core MSM5/5-712-1. Thin lines are raw data, bold lines are three-point running means. Black triangles on the age scale mark calibrated accelerator mass spectrometry 14C ages. (A) Fluxes of polar and subpolar planktic […]
Caption by Michon ScottJanuary 26, 2011 Snow fell in the U.S. Deep South, severe storms battered the East Coast, and International Falls, Minnesota, set a new temperature record: -46 degrees Fahrenheit (-43 degrees Celsius) on January 21.

Anomaly map of Greenland melting days for 2010 derived from passive microwave data. Hatched regions indicate where MAR-simulated meltwater production exceeds the mean by at least two standard deviations. Abstract: Analyses of remote sensing data, surface observations and output from a regional atmosphere model point to new records in 2010 for surface melt and albedo, […]
By Bob Henson 18 January 2011 Some fascinating weather has unfolded across the Northern Hemisphere over the last month, but you may have only heard about part of it.

ScienceDaily (Jan. 26, 2011) — To combat last year’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill, nearly 800,000 gallons of chemical dispersant were injected directly into the oil and gas flow coming out of the wellhead nearly one mile deep in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, as scientists begin to assess how well the strategy worked at breaking […]
Populations of wild birds in the UK are falling dramatically with even slight recent recoveries apparently stalled, government figures show. Only seabird populations remain comfortably above 1970 levels, while farmland bird numbers continue to plunge from a brief mid-1970s peak to half those of 40 years ago. Habitat changes responsible for fewer nesting sites and […]
