In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Heidi J. Ellsworth visits with Lars Walberg from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards and Zach Stopyro from DaVinci Roofscapes about the first annual National Snow Guards Safety Month coming up in March! This initiative is dedicated to educating property owners, roofers and builders on the critical role snow guards play in protecting homes, businesses and pedestrians from the dangers of heavy snow slides. Lars and Zach break down why snow retention is essential, what types of roofs need it most and how proper installation can prevent costly damage and injuries. They'll also share expert insights on selecting the right snow guards, understanding snow loads and the key differences between installing them on new roofs versus retrofitting existing ones. Whether you're a contractor looking to enhance safety practices or wanting to learn more about snow guards, this episode is packed with valuable information to keep your roof — and those around it — protected all winter long.

Greenland is the world's largest island and a self-governed territory of Denmark. About 57,000 people live there, mainly along its coasts. Most of Greenland lies north of the Arctic Circle, under thick sheets of ice. 格陵兰岛是世界上最大的岛屿，也是丹麦的自治领土。大约有 57,000 人居住在那里，主要居住在沿海地区。格陵兰岛的大部分地区位于北极圈以北，覆盖着厚厚的冰层。 The island plays a large part in the weather experienced by billions of people every day and in climate changes around the planet, experts say. 专家表示，该岛在数十亿人每天经历的天气以及全球气候变化中发挥着重要作用。American President-elect Donald Trump is expressing interest in buying Greenland from Denmark. He said something similar during his first term in office as well. The United States has a large military base on the island. 美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普表示有兴趣从丹麦购买格陵兰岛。他在第一个任期内也说过类似的话。美国在岛上拥有大型军事基地。Geologists say Greenland has huge amounts of oil and natural gas below the ice and valuable elements known as rare earth minerals. Rare earth minerals are needed in communication technologies, including phones. 地质学家表示，格陵兰岛冰层下蕴藏着大量石油和天然气，以及被称为稀土矿物的宝贵元素。通信技术（包括电话）需要稀土矿物。 Most of these resources are trapped under Greenland's ice. However, warming temperatures in recent years have increased melting on the island. As more ice melts, some of these resources may become easier to reach. 这些资源大部分都被困在格陵兰岛的冰层下。然而，近年来气温升高加剧了岛上的融化。随着更多的冰融化，其中一些资源可能会变得更容易获取。 Geoff Dabelko is a security and environment professor at Ohio University. He thinks other countries are becoming interested in Greenland because China is currently the supplier of more than half of the world's rare Earth minerals. 杰夫·达贝尔科 (Geoff Dabelko) 是俄亥俄大学安全与环境教授。他认为其他国家对格陵兰岛越来越感兴趣，因为中国目前是世界一半以上稀土矿物的供应国。From 1992 to 2020, Greenland lost an average of 169 billion metric tons of ice each year, with losses reaching 444 billion metric tons in 2019. 从1992年到2020年，格陵兰岛平均每年损失1690亿吨冰，2019年损失达到4440亿吨。 Mark Serreze is director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. He told The Associated Press that melting from Greenland will be a central issue through the 21st century. That is because melting ice adds to rising sea levels. Serreze noted that the amount of melting will likely increase in the future. 马克·塞雷兹 (Mark Serreze) 是科罗拉多州博尔德国家冰雪数据中心的主任。他告诉美联社，格陵兰岛融化将成为整个 21 世纪的一个中心问题。这是因为冰融化会导致海平面上升。Serreze 指出，未来融化量可能会增加。Greenland also serves as the engine for an important ocean current that influences Earth's climate in many ways, including storm activity. The current is called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC. The current is slowing down because more fresh water from Greenland's melting ice is entering the ocean, Serreze said. 格陵兰岛也是重要洋流的引擎，洋流以多种方式影响地球气候，包括风暴活动。该洋流被称为大西洋经向翻转环流（AMOC）。塞雷兹说，由于格陵兰岛融化的冰越来越多的淡水进入海洋，洋流正在减慢。 A shutdown of the current could lead to long-term freezes in Europe and parts of North America. 电流的关闭可能会导致欧洲和北美部分地区长期冻结。 “If this global current system were to slow substantially or even collapse . . .as we know it has done in the past — normal temperature and precipitation patterns around the globe would change drastically,” said climate scientist Jennifer Francis of the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit based in the American state of Massachusetts. “如果当前的全球体系大幅放缓甚至崩溃。。“正如我们所知，过去的情况是——全球的正常气温和降水模式将发生巨大变化，”美国马萨诸塞州非营利组织伍德韦尔气候研究中心的气候科学家詹妮弗·弗朗西斯说。 She added that the changes would have very damaging effects on farming and ecosystems. 她补充说，这些变化将对农业和生态系统产生非常破坏性的影响。As more ice melts, Greenland is also changing color from the white of ice to the blue and green of water and land. These darker colors hold more heat from the sun and can increase the speed of warming. 随着更多的冰融化，格陵兰岛的颜色也从冰的白色变为水和陆地的蓝色和绿色。这些较深的颜色会吸收更多来自太阳的热量，并会加快变暖的速度。 Greenland lies in between northern Canada, northern Europe, and Russia. That area may become more valuable to countries if melting in the Arctic Ocean continues to increase and more ships pass through the area. 格陵兰岛位于加拿大北部、北欧和俄罗斯之间。如果北冰洋的融化继续增加并且更多的船只经过该地区，该地区可能对各国变得更有价值。

The U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported Monday that winter sea ice hit record lows in Antarctica this year.美国国家冰雪数据中心（NSIDC）周一报告称，今年南极洲冬季海冰数量创下历史新低。Scientists say the lack of sea ice is evidence of serious climate change at the South Pole.科学家表示，海冰的缺乏是南极严重气候变化的证据。Researchers say the lack of sea ice will affect penguins, who mate and raise their young on the ice. In addition, a lack of ice speeds Earth's rising temperatures. A large amount of sea ice keeps the planet cool because it reflects sunlight back into space.研究人员表示，海冰的缺乏会影响在冰上交配和抚养后代的企鹅。 此外，冰的缺乏也会加速地球温度的上升。 大量的海冰使地球保持凉爽，因为它将阳光反射回太空。The amount of sea ice was at its highest level on September 10, towards the end of the southern hemisphere's winter. However, it only covered 16.96 million square kilometers. That was the lowest coverage since satellite records began in 1979. The latest measurement breaks a low ice record from 1986 by about one million square kilometers.9 月 10 日，南半球冬季即将结束，海冰数量达到最高水平。 但其面积仅1696万平方公里。 这是自 1979 年开始有卫星记录以来覆盖范围最低的一次。最新测量结果打破了 1986 年以来的低冰记录，减少了约 100 万平方公里。Walt Meier is a top NSIDC scientist. “It's not just a record-breaking year,” he said. “It's an extreme record-breaking year.”Walt Meier 是 NSIDC 的顶级科学家。 “这不仅仅是破纪录的一年，”他说。 “这是极端破纪录的一年。”The group said the ice measurement findings are not complete. It said a full report would come out in October.该组织表示，冰测量结果并不完整。 它说完整的报告将于十月发布。Sea ice reaches its peak, or highest level, in late September in the southern hemisphere. The ice melts to its lowest point during the hemisphere's summer in February or March.九月下旬，南半球的海冰达到顶峰或最高水平。 在二月或三月的半球夏季，冰融化至最低点。The last summer measurement came about six months ago, which also set a new record for melting ice.上次夏季测量大约是在六个月前，这也创下了冰融化的新记录。

Une récente étude, dirigée par Seung-Ki Min de l'université de Pohang en Corée du Sud, propose de nouvelles estimations sur la fonte de l'arctique, en se basant sur de nouvelles données. Si l'observation n'est pas nouvelle, elle corrobore, voire confirme les propos du GIEC, (Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat) qui avait prédit que la région perdrait sa glace estivale d'ici les années 2040. Sauf que cette nouvelle étude est encore plus pessimiste, et suggère que cela pourrait se produire dix ans plus tôt, soit en 2030.Un tel impact de l'activité humaine sur la fonte des glaces sous-entend que les efforts nécessaires pour ralentir le réchauffement climatique ont peut-être été sous-estimés jusqu'à présent. Pour Seung-Ki Min que je cite « nous devons réduire de manière plus ambitieuse les émissions de CO₂ et nous préparer à nous adapter à ce réchauffement plus rapide dans l'Arctique ». En effet, son étude indique que même si la hausse de la température mondiale est limitée à 2 °C, la glace estivale aura disparu d'ici 2050. Parmi les conséquences que cela aura sur notre climat, le chercheur cite notamment "une augmentation des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes que nous connaissons déjà, tels que les vagues de chaleur, les incendies de forêt et les inondations". Car la fonte des glaces entraîne des modifications de courant, notamment ceux qui contribuent à réguler le climat en Amérique du Nord, en Europe et en Asie.Pour Mark Serreze, directeur du National Snow and Ice Data Center de l'université du Colorado, je cite « le message clé est que nous perdons le contrôle de la banquise » fin de citation. Lui et Min partagent la même vision des choses, la planète se réchauffe beaucoup plus vite que prévu, et dépasser + 2 °C aurait des conséquences encore plus catastrophiques que ce que l'on peut imaginer aujourd'hui.

A recently released study says the average yearly temperature on Greenland has increased by 1.5 degree Celsius above the average for the 20th century for a 15-year period ending in 2011. Scientists used examples of Greenland's ice to get information about temperatures from hundreds of years in the past. Until recently, Greenland's ice cores had not shown a clear sign of warming on the remotest north-central part of the island. Those findings were based on cores from 1995. Researchers involved in the recent study examined cores that were drilled in 2011. They said their work showed a rise in temperature in the previous 15 years. The German researchers published their study in Nature.最近发布的一项研究表明，在截至 2011 年的 15 年里，格陵兰岛的年平均气温比 20 世纪的平均气温高 1.5 摄氏度。过去。直到最近，格陵兰岛最偏远的中北部地区的冰芯还没有显示出明显的变暖迹象。这些发现基于 1995 年的岩心。参与最近研究的研究人员检查了 2011 年钻探的岩心。他们说，他们的工作表明过去 15 年温度有所上升。德国研究人员在《自然》杂志上发表了他们的研究。Maria Hoerhold, the study's lead writer, said this a clear signal of climate change. “We keep on (seeing) rising temperatures between 1990s and 2011,” she said. Hoerhold is a glaciologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany. “We have now a clear signature of global warming.”↳ Scientists take years to study ice core data. Hoerhold has new cores from 2019. But she has not finished studying them. She expects the temperature rise to continue. The study said Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers have been melting.该研究的主要作者 Maria Hoerhold 表示，这是气候变化的一个明显信号。 “从 1990 年代到 2011 年，我们一直（看到）气温上升，”她说。 Hoerhold 是德国阿尔弗雷德韦格纳研究所的冰川学家。 “我们现在有了全球变暖的明显迹象。”↳ 科学家们花了数年时间研究冰芯数据。 Hoerhold 从 2019 年开始有了新的核心。但她还没有完成对它们的研究。她预计气温会继续上升。该研究称，格陵兰岛的冰盖和冰川一直在融化。Information from ice cores has been used to estimate temperatures in Greenland from the year 1000 to 2011. Scientific models suggest average temperatures fell a little for the first 800 years of that period. Temperatures then increase a little and then go down until a sudden increase from the 1990s until 2011. The increase in temperatures after 1995 was much larger than pre-industrial times before the mid-19th century. There is an “almost zero” chance that it is anything but human-caused climate change, Hoerhold said. Hoerhold said Greenland's natural weather changes in the past had hidden human-caused climate change. But, as of about 25 years ago, the warming became too big to be hidden, she said.来自冰芯的信息已被用于估计格陵兰岛从 1000 年到 2011 年的温度。科学模型表明，该时期的前 800 年平均温度略有下降。从 1990 年代到 2011 年，气温略有上升，然后下降，直到突然上升。1995 年之后的气温上升幅度远大于 19 世纪中叶之前的工业化前时期。 Hoerhold 说，这不是人为造成的气候变化的可能性“几乎为零”。霍尔霍尔德说，格陵兰岛过去的自然天气变化隐藏了人为造成的气候变化。但是，大约 25 年前，变暖变得太大而无法隐藏，她说。Scientists say past data shows that Greenland is not warming as fast as the rest of the Arctic, the extreme northern part of the world. Some scientists suggest the temperature of the Arctic is now increasing at a rate four times faster than the average world temperature is. Hoerhold and scientists not involved in the research said the new warming data is bad because Greenland's ice is melting. The study ends with data from 2011. Hoerhold said that, in the following year, a lot of ice melted across Greenland, and the island's ice loss has been high since then.科学家们说，过去的数据表明，格陵兰岛变暖的速度不如北极其他地区，即世界最北部地区。一些科学家认为，北极的温度现在正在以比世界平均温度快四倍的速度上升。 Hoerhold 和未参与该研究的科学家表示，新的变暖数据很糟糕，因为格陵兰岛的冰层正在融化。该研究以 2011 年的数据结束。Hoerhold 说，第二年，格陵兰岛上的大量冰融化，此后岛上的冰流失量一直很高。Jason Box is a scientist with the Danish Meteorological Institute. He said, “We should be very concerned about North Greenland warming because that region has a dozen sleeping giants in the form of wide tidewater glaciers and an ice stream.” As temperatures continue to get warmer, more ice will melt in Greenland, he said. Twila Moon is a scientist with the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. Melting glaciers in Greenland means “rising seas that threaten homes, businesses, economies and communities," she said.Jason Box 是丹麦气象研究所的科学家。他说：“我们应该非常关注北格陵兰岛变暖，因为该地区有十几个沉睡的巨人，以宽阔的潮水冰川和冰流的形式出现。”他说，随着气温继续变暖，格陵兰岛将有更多的冰融化。 Twila Moon 是美国国家冰雪数据中心的科学家。她说，格陵兰岛冰川融化意味着“海平面上升威胁着家庭、企业、经济和社区”。

Today on This Green Earth, Chris Cherniak and guest host Claire Wiley speak with (02:10) Walt Meier, Senior Research Scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center who shares the science behind studying Environmental Arctic Change and what the outlook is for Arctic sea ice.Then, (26:18) acclaimed author Ben Rawlence comes on the show to discuss his new book, The Treeline, which takes us along the critical frontier of our warming planet from Norway to Siberia, Alaska to Greenland, to meet the scientists, residents and trees confronting huge geological changes.

On this episode of This Green Earth, Nell and Chris first speak with (00:17) Walt Meier, a Senior Scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center located in Boulder, CO. Walt brings the latest news and observations on Artic Sea Ice. Then, (23:41) Emily Murphy, author of the new book Grow Now - How We Can See Our Health, Communities and Planet - One Garden at a Time, joins the show. Murphy shares easy-to-follow principles for regenerative gardening.

“For the entire development of modern civilization, Greenland and Antarctica have been holding vast amounts of water as frozen ice and helping us to maintain very steady sea levels around our coast. And that's allowed us to build infrastructure, build mega cities, right on the coast where many of our world's mega cities sit. Now….we're raising our air temperatures …and that's adding more water to our oceans, which is arriving at shores around the world… disrupting the infrastructure we built…(and) caus(ing) health and other problems.” Dr. Twila Moon on Electric Ladies Podcast We hear about melting ice caps as a symbol of global warming. What do they mean? What does the ice caps mean? What does the fact that they're melting mean? And what does it mean for our cities, towns and communities? Listen to Dr. Twila Moon, a climate scientist from and the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center who specializes in the ice caps - a cryosphere scientist – in this fascinating interview with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson where she helps us understand what those melting ice caps mean for us. You'll hear about: Why glaciers matter How glaciers melting directly affects our daily lives. Why small changes in air temperature directly affect our infrastructure, food and water supplies. What we can do in our daily conversations to help people understand the impact of climate change. Plus, insightful career advice …. “So first recognizing that you're in a continually evolving space of influence and the dreams that you, that position that you were applying for three years ago, take the time now to consider…(that) you might've already grown out of that dream and already be able to take on bigger responsibilities or bigger roles. And the second thing is learning how to say no saying no is saying yes to the things already on your plate.” Twila Moon on the Electric Ladies podcast Read Joan's related Forbes articles here too. You'll also want to listen to: Sandrine Dixson, Co-President, The Club of Rome, from COP26, about the need for transformational public-private partnerships to get to net zero.

What A Week   (8/16- 8/22)Intro: (Cue intro music) Hey everyone, welcome back to What a week!, I'm your host, Olivia Lee, here to deliver your weekly dose of the news. Let's get started!In Local News:  https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2021/08/demonstrators-congregate-at-portland-waterfront.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/23/portland-oregon-clashes-protests-proud-boys-antifascistThis past sunday, a rightwing protest in Portland turned into a gunfight, when antifascist demonstrators returned fire at a man who shot at them with a handgun in a downtown street. The firefight took place in the heart of downtown Portland, soon after 6pm on Sunday night. Portland police bureau confirmed that a man had been arrested over the shooting but did not have any information on any injuries. The incident came after a day of protest descended into running clashes involving hundreds of protesters and counterprotesters. This past Sunday's planned gatherings were spurred by a similar event one year ago where right-wing demonstrators, including some affiliated with the Proud Boys, faced off against anti-fascist counter-demonstrators in downtown Portland. The two groups pelted each other with paintballs, mace and rocks as Portland police stayed mainly out of the way. In-state news: https://www.koin.com/news/health/coronavirus/oregon-surpasses-sad-milestone-of-3000-covid-19-deaths/Last Friday, the Oregon Health Authority reported 19 new COVID-related deaths, raising the state's death toll to 3,012. OHA Director Patrick Allen in a statement said, “Today, we mark another sad milestone in the pandemic: Our 3,000th COVID-19 related death. Our sadness is deepened by the realization that these deaths are increasingly preventable. We know that the available vaccines provide a reliable protective shield against serious illness and death from COVID-19. These vaccines are saving lives every day and I urge every Oregonian who has not yet received the vaccine to please make a plan to be vaccinated.” end quote. https://katu.com/news/local/oregon-reports-4700-new-coronavirus-cases-24-more-covid-deaths-over-the-weekendOregon health officials reported more than 4,700 new coronavirus cases and 24 COVID-19 related deaths over the span of this past weekend as the delta variant and hospitalizations continue to surge across the state. The Oregon Health Authority has identified 257,644 presumptive and confirmed coronavirus cases since the pandemic started.  In National News: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/08/23/1030251410/pfizer-covid-vaccine-fda-approvalLast week, The Food and Drug Administration formally approved Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. The widely anticipated decision replaces the emergency use authorization granted by the agency last December. The vaccine, developed by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech, is the first COVID-19 vaccine to be subject to a full review by the U.S. regulator and to get an approval that puts the vaccine on par with other marketed vaccines. The full approval could make it easier for employers, the military and universities to mandate vaccination and may reassure some people who are still undecided about getting the vaccine.  https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/08/18/1028798003/covid-19-booster-shots-roll-out-september-moderna-pfizerThe country's top health officials announced last Wednesday that COVID-19 booster shots of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are set to become available for all U.S. adults beginning next month. Dr. Vivek Murthy, the surgeon general, spoke on this announcement at a White House briefing saying quote,  "We know that even highly effective vaccines become less effective over time. It is now our clinical judgment that the time to lay out a plan for COVID boosters is now.”    In International News:  ​​https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/23/china/china-zero-case-delta-intl-hnk/index.htmlLast week China reported no new locally transmitted Covid-19 cases for the first time since July, according to its National Health Commission (NHC), as authorities double down on the country's stringent zero-Covid approach. China has been grappling with the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant since July 20, when a cluster of Covid-19 infections were detected among airport cleaning staff in the eastern city of Nanjing. Since then, it has catapulted into the worst outbreak China has seen since 2020, spreading to more than half of the country's 31 provinces and infecting more than 1,200 people. The surging cases driven by Delta were seen as the biggest challenge yet,  to China's uncompromising zero tolerance virus policy. Local authorities responded by placing tens of millions of residents under strict lockdown, rolling out massive testing and tracing campaigns and restricting domestic travels. The strict measures appear to be working as  daily infections have fallen steadily over the past week into single digits, down from more than 100 from its peak two weeks ago. Lastly here is the wildcard news for the week: https://www.npr.org/2021/08/20/1029633740/rain-fall-peak-of-greenland-ice-sheet-first-climate-changeGreenland saw rain at the highest point of its ice sheet for the first time since scientists have been making observations there. According to the U.S. National Snow & Ice Data Center, rain fell for several hours on an area 10,551 feet in elevation on Aug. 14, an unprecedented occurrence for a location that rarely sees temperatures above freezing. It was also the latest date in the year scientists had ever recorded above-freezing temperatures at the National Science Foundation's Summit Station. The rainfall coincided with the ice sheet's most recent "melt event," in which temperatures get high enough that the thick ice begins to melt.  Closing:  Well that wraps up What a Week! Stay safe and see you guys next week. 

This episode features Dr. Matthew Druckenmiller from the National Snow and Ice Data Center and Director for the Navigating the New Arctic Community Office–both hosted at CU Boulder. We'll hear about how his family-centered upbringing in rural Pennsylvania formed the foundations for his lifelong work exploring the relationships between the physical environment and the communities–especially indigenous communities–that dwell there. *Intro and outro music by the artist, Broke for Free.

On This Green Earth , Nell and Chris speak with Walt Meier, Senior Research Scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Arctic sea ice is in full melt for the next couple of months, and Meier brings us the latest data on where the levels are now and what is expected to come.

It is finally time for THE Arctic episode. Not only is the Arctic warming at a faster rate than the rest of the world; Arctic warmth also has massive impacts on worsening global warming and poses massive threats to ecosystems and communities around the world. In this episode, we discuss the impacts of global warming on the Arctic and how some of those impacts affect ecosystems and communities around the world.

The National Snow Show The Snow Show Is Back with Snow Camps Europe and SIA Austria. We ask the questions do we need 3 ski shows in the UK next Autumn? Will this dilute the audience are will you visit all 2 or maybe 3 ski shows. What does this mean for a business that exhibit at these show with now a possible 3 shows how do they plan and budget for these shows or should they just not attend? Is there still value to being at the ski shows given the cost to play? #thenationalsnowshow #skishow #skiing

On This Green Earth , Nell and Chris take a closer look at Arctic Sea Ice. The Arctic Sea Ice reached its maximum surface area around the middle of March this year. What was the extent of its coverage, and how much of it has already begun to melt due to the combination of natural and man-made warming? Walt Meier, senior research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center comes on the show to answer these questions.

This week, Iain is joined by Stephie Dijkman from Tignes. We discuss the challenges of this ‘saison blanche' and plans for summer glacier skiing.

In this episode of This Green Earth, Walt Meier, Senior Research Scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center is the guest. The center provides updates on the growth and conditions of sea ice up in the Arctic and Walt talks about why the year 2020 saw a near record level of sea ice melt.

On this episode of This Green Earth Walt Meier of the National Snow and Ice Data Center joins the show. He talks with Chris and Nell about the record amount of sea ice that has melted this past summer up in the Arctic Ocean, how close open water is to the North Pole and, the role climate change is playing in that annual event.

Walt Meier with the National Snow and Ice Data Center joins Nell and Chris on This Green Earth to talk about Arctic Sea Ice, it's maximum extent this past March and how much has melted since then. He also provides some information on what Arctic-based research is being impacted by COVID-19.

In this episode: We meet Dr. Ulyana Horodyskyj, a glaciologist, geologist, climatologist, and planetologist. After earning her PhD, she went on to complete postdoctoral research at the National Snow and Ice Data Center and launched an adventure and citizen science company called Science in the Wild, which offers participants the chance to go on expeditions and collect scientific data. Ulyana is also an instructor for a citizen science program called Project PoSSUM (Polar Suborbital Science in the Upper Mesosphere), and a visiting professor of environmental science at Colorado College.  In this conversation, Ulyana discusses how she first got interested in space and science, the meaning of “citizen science,” and shares her experiences as commander of a deep space mission simulation as a part of NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA XII) project. She also describes the similarities between working at high mountain elevations and being an astronaut in space, offers advice for women trying to get into scientific professions, and explains what her ideal mission destination would be if she were to be selected for the upcoming NASA class for which she is an applicant. In discussing her research work in high mountain elevations such as the Nepal Himalayas, Ulyana says, “Twenty [thousand] to 23,000 feet is the kind of the realm I've been working in, and you still have to function in order to collect samples for the research. I think I really just enjoy both the physical and mental challenges that come along with the high-altitude climbing and the science.” For more information about Ulyana's Science in the Wild initiative, visit www.scienceinthewild.com.

Undisturbed soils are typically richest in carbon, underscoring the importance of conservation. Moreover, specialists point out that increasing the health of soils, including with amendments like biochar and managing crops for sequestering carbon, could play a significant role in local, national and even global mitigation schemes. At the same time, scientists are greatly concerned that warming temperatures in the northern biome would cause methane and carbon release from permafrost and peatlands, significantly compounding ghg emissions. We will discuss the latest science, policy and opportunities that focus on the connections of soils, conservation and ghg sequestration and emissions. >> John Field's presentation (PPTX/9 MB) >> Keith Paustian's presentation (PDF/1 MB) >> Kevin Schaefer's presentation (PPTX/5 MB) >> Diana Wall's presentation (PDF/18 MB)

He shared some great insight: ➡️ How he’s always on courses, reading and finding ways to learn. ➡️ Invest in your education. ➡️ The importance of having mentors and people to learn from, especially someone in your industry. ➡️ The time he spends in the morning on self-development and setting his day up to win. ➡️ Having a growth mindset and being goal focused. ➡️ His just start now motto. Don’t wait, just get started and learn along the way. ... Curtis can be found on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/curtis-knapton-020300157 Instagram - curtis_knapton His company - www.lakeviewpropertygroup.com ... For more information on the Ice Warrior team, training, expedition, sponsorship go to- www.lastpole.co.uk and www.ice-warrior.com https://spark.adobe.com/page/q0tJq/ Or contact Curtis or Jim direct on curtis@ice-warrior.com and jim@ice-warrior.com ... His work as an artic explorer and the Ice Warrior is so inspiring and so important to our world. Here’s his story: ... For the past 4-5 years I have been on a quest of self discovery and how I can have a positive impact on mankind, and one way I am living congruent is being trained to become a polar explorer with my 1st big expedition being to a place mankind has yet to reach "The pole of inaccessibility". Defined as the furthest point from land on the Arctic Ocean and therefore its centre, the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility remains the last truly significant place in the Polar Regions, yet to be reached by mankind and is over two hundred miles further than the Geographic North Pole. The whole journey will be near to 800 miles from the northern shores of Canada and will take in the North Magnetic Pole on route. The expedition is split up into 4 legs of approximately 200 miles each and every leg is different with their own unique challenges. This endeavour is of great importance of a scientific nature as its main purpose is to find out why the Arctic sea ice is depleting so fast, with the help of the top scientists in the field of climate change. Along the route team members will be gathering “crucial datasets” for the scientific community including new and vital data about how the sea ice breaks up, making the whole endeavour a major citizen science project. Partners include the NASA funded National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) scientists, The Met Office, The Scott Polar Institute, The Norwegian Polar Institute and the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute. This vital data will deliver the reality of climate change and make the whole expedition worthwhile and purposeful. This attempt of great human endurance will be covered by the worlds media to aid in its effectiveness and raise awareness of a subject that effects us all, climate change. Along side current sponsors we need more to make this expedition happen and to be as effective as possible, sponsorship options vary from patches to partnerships and something for every brand in between. If you feel your brand could mutually benefit us in the way of kudos and brand awareness then please do contact Curtis or Jim ... Link to a visual description of sea ice depletion ⬇️

Nella sola giornata si sono sciolte circa 2 miliardi di tonnellate di ghiaccio, sul 40% del territorio dell'isola. Lo hanno riportato i siti di Washington Post e Cnn, citando i dati del National Snow and Ice Data Center. Questo scioglimento record è stato causato da temperature al di sopra della media della tarda primavera. «Lo scioglimento dei ghiacci» come spiega l'ANSA «è un fenomeno naturale in Groenlandia nella bella stagione. Di norma però il picco si ha fra giugno e agosto, mentre quest'anno lo scioglimento è cominciato già ad aprile».

In this episode of ThinkArctic, we speak with Walt Meier, senior research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, about the changing sea ice in the Arctic.

The temperature in the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden has reached 30°C. In northernSiberia, temperatures reached 32°C at the beginning of this month. In the same period of the previous year, the average temperature in this area was only 10°C. According to the monitoring data of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, theabnormal high temperature further aggravated the melting of sea ice in the Arctic Circle this summer. Among the Nordic coast and northwestern Russia, sea ice has shown an unusually low trend. The reduction of sea ice not only threatens the survival of creatures such as polar bears, but also further aggravates the abnormal weather in the northern hemisphere.在瑞典以北的北极圈，气温已经达到了30°C，八月的开始，西伯利亚的北部气温已经达到32°C。然而，往年这一时期，这些地区的平均温度也只是10°C。根据国家冰雪数据中的监测数据显示，今年夏天异常的高温天气使得北极圈海冰消融情况更加严重。北欧海岸以及俄罗斯西北部海冰平面已经呈现较低趋势。海冰的减少不仅威胁到了北极熊这些生物的生存，也使得北半球的异常天气更加常见。1.Sweden /'swidən/ 瑞典2.Siberia /sai'biəriə/西伯利亚3.average/'ævərɪdʒ/平均的Eg: the average price 平均价格4.abnormal /æb'nɔːml/ 不正常的，反常的Eg:abnormal behavior 反常行为5.aggravate/'ægrəveɪt/ 使加重；使恶化Eg:The bad weather aggravated his illness.坏天气加重了他的病情。6.hemisphere /'hemɪsfɪə/ 半球Eg:the Northern hemisphere 北半球

Dr. Colleen Strawhacker, an archaeologist with the interdisciplinary research group, the National Snow and Ice Data Center, joins the podcast to talk about the archaeology of climate change. Strawhacker works closely with indigenous groups in the Arctic to study resilience and failure in the wake of drastic environmental change.

We all may prefer the goldilocks zone – not too hot, not too cold. But most of the universe is bitterly cold. We can learn a lot about it if we're willing to brave a temperature drop. A chilly Arctic island is the closest thing to Mars-on-Earth for scientists who want to go to the Red Planet. Meanwhile, the ice sheet at the South Pole is ideal for catching neutrinos – ghostly particles that may reveal secrets about the nature of the universe. Comet ISON is comet ice-off after its passage close to the Sun, but it's still giving us the word on solar system's earliest years. Also, scientists discover the coldest spot on Earth. A champion chill, but positively balmy compared to absolute zero. Why reaching a temperature of absolute zero is impossible, although we've gotten very, very close. Guests: Francis Halzen – Physicist, University of Wisconsin-Madison, principal investigator of The IceCube Neutrino Observatory Ted Scambos – Glaciologist, lead scientist, National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado Pascal Lee – Planetary scientist, SETI Institute, director, NASA Haughton-Mars Project, and co-founder of the Mars Institute.
