As freshwater from glacier melt, river runoff, and precipitation enters the Arctic Ocean, a circular current called the Beaufort Gyre traps it near the surface, slowly releasing the water into the Atlantic Ocean over decades. Warming global temperatures may weaken the wind patterns that keep the gyre turning, which could slow or even stop the current and release a flood of freshwater with a volume comparable to that of the Great Lakes.

Over the past decade, the Curiosity rover has repeatedly detected methane on the surface of Mars. This gas is often produced by microbes, so it could herald the presence of life on the red planet. But skeptics have postulated that the gas detected by Curiosity could have a much more pedestrian origin.

But skeptics have postulated that the gas detected by Curiosity could have a much more pedestrian origin. Viscardy et al.suggest the methane could be coming from inside the Curiosity rover itself rather than from the atmosphere of Mars.

Research shows that communities are best able to mitigate the effects of climate change when they can work alongside scientists on adaptation plans. B. Hanson and colleagues recently extended this finding to Indigenous communities in the Colorado Plateau, including members of the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Their study is published in Community Science.
