The work of scientists at the world's northernmost research station in Ny-Alesund, Norway, has become vitally important as climate change ramps up and researchers hoping to harvest ice cores are finding glaciers inundated by water https://t.co/8rIHi5rMMN
Why is everyone from Trump to China obsessed with Greenland and the Arctic? It’s not just ice and polar bears. It’s about power, money, and the future of the world. Here’s why the Arctic is the new battleground 🧵👇 1/20
🔥 CRAZY HEAT in the Alps yesterday! 🔥
17.4°C Aig. du Midi (3842 m)
9.0°C Capanna Margherita (4554 m)
4.3°C Col Major, Mt Blanc (4750 m)
Aig. du Midi may have broken its all-time record (16.5°C, 26th June 2019)! 😳
Mt Blanc temp. underest.?

This year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve.
The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding women’s responsibilities for home and family.

Citizen divers and scientists are restoring seagrass meadows in the Baltic Sea that can store millions of tons of carbon https://t.co/oDtp6EgnJa
‘It’s like underwater gardening,’ said Lea Verfondern, 21, a veterinary assistant.

Small steps of nature-based carbon sequestration in Germany
"It would take half a million divers, planting shoots for 12 hours a day for an entire year, to restore all the lost seagrass in the Baltic Sea along Germany's coast"

Pasterze Glacier

Dislocation of the largest Austrian glacier over the last decade! ❄️🔥
A lake replaced the floodplain where numerous early Holocene subfossil woods were found since the 1990s.
The tongue is no longer fed by any accumulation.
