Editors note: For easy download the posted pdf of the Explaining Extreme Events of 2016 is
a very low-resolution file. A high-resolution copy of the report is available by clicking. Please …

Permafrost and glaciers are being degraded by the warming effects of climate change. The
impact that this degradation has on slope stability in mountainous terrain is the subject of …

Earth System Observations. The Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and Bering Sea have been
anomalously warm for several years with the warmth peaking in 2016. As a consequence of …

Motivated by increasing marine heatwaves (MHWs) and their dramatic climate effects, we
analyze the persistent 2019–2020 MHW, which showed significant positive sea surface …

In the USA, climate change is expected to have an adverse impact on slope stability in
Alaska. However, to date, there has been limited work done in Alaska to assess if changes …

FIG. S2. 10. Temperature trends (C decade–1) for the tropics at various tropospheric levels
for 1979–2016. The top box indicates trends for the tropical atmospheric layer known as the …

Time series of phytoplankton and zooplankton collected from the shelf and oceanic northern
Gulf of Alaska from 2000 to 2018 are examined to describe changes in abundance and …

Atmospheric reanalyses are a valuable climate-related resource where in situ data are
sparse. However, few studies have investigated the skill of reanalyses to represent extreme …

Arctic and boreal ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon (C) budget, and
whether they act as a future net C sink or source depends on climate and environmental …
