Examining the sublime landscapes of North Cascade, Mount Rainier, and Olympic National Parks, researchers shed light on emerging indications that climate change is real and predict how warming temperatures will affect the natural resources and timeless beauty of the region. As glaciers melt and the winter snow-pack decreases, what is the fate of the aquatic ecosystems and cold water fish that dep...More

When you look at a map of the northern reaches of Alaska, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge represents a tiny proportion of the entire coast line. Ninety percent of this land is already being drilled for oil - indeed, ANWR is the only remaining area where drilling is not permitted. ANWR represents the only area where caribou will still migrate, the people can still live their preferred subsisten...More

"What we see is people with a lot of backcountry experience who understand the science of avalanches, understand why avalanches form, why slopes are dangerous and know what to look for. Yet they still get in trouble. They get hungry for powder and don't look at the situation objectively. They want to ski the run." - Doug Chabot (director of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center) ...More

Last year, Arctic explorer Dennis Schmitt discovered that the world as-we-know-it is changing fast. In a remote coastal region of Greenland, "Warming Island" was created when the ice connecting it to the mainland melted away. The Greenland ice sheet - nearly three miles thick in places - is now melting at speeds once thought impossible. If the ice melts completely, sea level will rise tw...More
