As it does in the Arctic, the surface of the ocean around Antarctica freezes over in the winter and melts back each summer.
Study Highlights Vulnerability of Rural Coast to Sea-Level Rise
Type “sea-level rise” in an internet search engine and almost all the resulting images will show flooded cities, with ample guidance on civic options for protecting urban infrastructure, from constructing seawalls to elevating roadways.
Warming May Increase Risk Of Rapidly Intensifying Hurricanes Along U.S. East Coast

High Sugar Levels During Pregnancy Could Lead to Childhood Obesity
The children of women who have high glucose blood levels during pregnancy, even if their mothers are not diagnosed with gestational diabetes, are at an increased risk of developing obesity in childhood, according to a new study published in PLOS One.
A Warming Arctic Produces Weather Extremes in Our Latitudes
Atmospheric researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have now developed a climate model that can accurately depict the frequently observed winding course of the jet stream, a major air current over the Northern Hemisphere.
