The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth, and rapidly becoming a warmer, wetter and more variable environment. Permafrost, and the ice it contains, influences northern ecosystems and hydrological systems and presents challenges to northern development. Warming and thawing of permafrost occurs in response to climate change and to environmental disturbances associated […]

Ocean acidification is sometimes called “climate change’s equally evil twin”, and for good reason: it’s a significant and harmful consequence of excess carbon emissions to atmospheree that we don’t see or feel because its effects are happening underwater. When carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by seawater, chemical reactions occur that reduce seawater pH, carbonate ion […]

Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean. Oceanic circulation inluences climate patterns, weather, landscapes. It has a large impact on our lives. Constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by temperature and salinity is called GLOBAL CONVEYOR BELT. How does it look like in miniature? You can easily recreate this phenomenon […]

The mechanism of brinicle occurance is different, but it looks similar. Plus, you use your finger to initiate the reaction, and BRINICLE is often called a ‘finger of death’. Also, you get to produce ‘HOT ICE’ – Sodium acetate🙂 Download the instructions and have fun.
