Sea surface temperatures departures from the 1991-2020 average around Alaska for the week ending May 10, 2024. Northern Bering Sea mostly below normal and partially sea ice influenced. Eastern Gulf of Alaska warmer than average. Data from OISSTv2.1 courtesy of NOAA/PSL/ESRL. #SST#akwx#Arctic
The nuclear legacy of the Russian Arctic
"The nuclear legacy in the north-west of Russia includes the building of a former military base in Andreyeva Bay, spent nuclear fuel from nuclear submarines, sunken nuclear and radiation hazardous objects at the bottom of the Arctic sea" https://bellona.org/publication/nuclear-legacy-arctic#Arctic#Cryosphere#Nuclear#Russia
Today my solar power grant for the cabin was deposited in my account. And my system ordered. Now to wait for sealift. Excited and intimidated over this part of the project. #Nunavut#Arctic#CabinLife.
So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.
I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin. #Nunavut#Arctic#Stamps#philately#CanadaPost
Sea surface temperature departures from 1991-2020 normal in the high resolution OISSTv2 data from NOAA/PSL/ESRL. Eastern Gulf of Alaska remains warmer than normal, while sea ice influenced areas in the Bering Sea are cooler than normal. #sst#akwx#Arctic @Climatologist49
The sea ice melt season in the Arctic is underway and I've got a review of April conditions in a new Alaska and Arctic Climate Newsletter. #akwx#Arctic#SeaIce
Did you ever wonder how @awi 's airborne laser scanner data can help classifying #Arctic sea ice surfaces from high-resolution #SAR data? Can the satellite 🛰️ data tell us whether there is open water, level or deformed ice? Check out this new paper! #MOSAiCexpedtion ➡️ https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-18-2207-2024
"This map was first published by #NewScientist, and republished by #ParagKhanna for his book #Connectography. Khanna speculates: “The entire population of the #Arctic region today is less than 4 million. Could it be 400 million within the coming 20 years?”
Interesting #Arctic reporting as always from Mia Bennett of Cryopolitics, this time on the temporary Israeli base that was built in US state of #Alaska to test defensive space missiles now being used in the #MiddleEast.
In an ATV trip to Innaaluup Nuvua last summer we stopped at the top of this magnificent valley above Innaarulaalikuluk and Admiralty Inlet. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography
Throwback to summer. I’ve applied for some funding to upgrade my drone so here’s a shot with my Mavic 2 Pro. A panorama of Qajuutinnguaq down Adams Sound from home. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography#Drone
Nanuraq only started running dogs two years ago and was participating in his first Nunavut Quest, a race that his grandfather and father have both run.
