Arctic Sea Ice Could Be Gone By 2035 The Nature Climate Change journal has published a new study that predicts Arctic sea ice could be gone by 2035. Scientists have said if what is happening in the Arctic right now compares to the last interglacial period, it could be free of sea ice in about 15 years. Yet it could be anywhere between 2035 and 2086. Related: Arctic […] Brains Rouchelle Gilmore | August 18, 2020 3 Comments
Why is Pyramid Lake, NV Changing Color? This week, Pyramid Lake has been displaying a significant change of colors. The lake, which is located in northwestern Nevada, is normally dark blue in color. But as of late, the lake has become light turquoise and even white. This drastic change ultimately comes as a result of higher levels of calcium carbonate in the water. However, there are more […] Brains Spencer Cox | August 13, 2020 0 Comments
Historic 2019 Avalanche Cycle In Colorado Creates Research Opportunity March 2019 was a historic avalanche cycle in Colorado of great importance. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center, or CAIC, had reports of nearly 1000 confirmed slides during that cycle. The true number was likely multitudes higher. D5 is the highest possible rating on the destruction scale for avalanches. March 2019 saw 3 avalanches earning a D5 rating. Two of which occurred […] Avalanche James Pulfer | August 10, 2020 0 Comments
