Short window of opportunity to complete glacier repeat photo
Short window of opportunity to complete glacier repeat photoThere is a short window of opportunity to complete glacier repeat photography. Scientists must wait until late summer, when seasonal snow has melted from the glacier surface and glacier margins can be identified. This is also the time of year when weather and forest fire smoke can hamper photography and hiking.

An exploration of the direct and indirect effects of climatic warming
An exploration of the direct and indirect effects of climatic warmingArctic lakes support trophic interactions, biological processes, and critical habitat at all trophic levels; however, climatic warming threatens to alter the structure and function of aquatic communities and overall system production.
