NOAA Releases Arctic Report Card 2015

“On Tuesday, December 15, 2015 NOAA [released] the latest scientific observations of the Arctic environment at a press conference hosted by the American Geophysical Union at its Annual Fall Meeting in San Francisco.  The Arctic is on the front lines of global climate change, warming more than twice as fast as lower latitudes. Now in its 10th year, the peer-reviewed Arctic Report Card provides the latest Arctic observations from an international team of more than 70 scientists in 10 countries about changes in Arctic air and sea temperatures, snow, sea ice, the Greenland ice sheet and vegetation. This year’s report also includes guest essays that provide insight on how fish, walrus, and Arctic rivers are responding to changes in the warmer environment.”
