Late-season Arctic research cruise reveals unseasonably warm ocean temperatures and active ecosystem
Arctic researchers Jacqueline Grebmeier and Lee Cooper have been visiting the Bering and Chukchi seas off Alaska for nearly 30 years, collecting information about the biological diversity of the watery world under the sea ice to understand how marine ecosystems are responding to environmental changes.

I wish I could say this was surprising but we know it has been happening for quite a while. Its the consistency of studies like this that show similar results that baffle me as to how people can deny climate change

The first analysis of a sedimentary drill core representing 1 million years of environmental history in the East African Rift Valley shows that at the same time early humans were abandoning old tools in favor of more sophisticated technology and broadening their trade, their landscape was experiencing frequent fluctuations in vegetation and water supply that made resources less reliably available. The findings suggest that instability in their landscape was a key driver of human adaptability.

Against the backdrop of climate change, the delicate underwater ecology of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands is hurting from declines in otters.

I never knew about the importance of sea otters in marine ecosystems until I visited the Monterrey Bay aquarium, especially with kelp forests.
