Climate change is one of the most severe threats to global lake ecosystems. Lake surface
conditions, such as ice cover, surface temperature, evaporation and water level, respond …

Dramatic environmental shifts are occuring throughout the Arctic from climate change, with
consequences for the cycling of mercury (Hg). This review summarizes the latest science on …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Lake ice is an important feature of the physical landscape at northern latitudes. Not only
does the presence of lake ice help modulate weather and climate but it also plays an …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Northwestern Alaska has been highly affected by changing climatic patterns with new
temperature and precipitation maxima over the recent years. In particular, the Baldwin and …

Air temperature and winter precipitation changes over the last five decades have impacted
the timing, duration, and thickness of the ice cover on Arctic lakes as shown by recent …

Winter is an important season for many limnological processes, which can range from
biogeochemical transformations to ecological interactions. Interest in the structure and …

As the climate changes, ice characteristics and river-ice processes are altered, sometimes in
unexpected ways. A warmer climate will obviously result in less ice globally, and in a …

Abstract During the International Polar Year (IPY), comprehensive observational research
programs were undertaken to increase our understanding of the Canadian polar cryosphere …
