Professor Joel Johnson provides perspective for AGU EOS Article

The Influence of Tidal Forces Extends to the Arctic’s Deep Sea

The Moon’s gravitational pull creates the tides, but its influence extends hundreds of meters below the sea surface too, influencing sensitive methane seeps in the seabed.

Earth Sciences PostDoc Alia Lesnek Co-Authored a Study Published in Nature

“Rate of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet will exceed Holocene values this century"

An interdisciplinary team of scientists used reconstructions of climate & former ice sheet extent to model the past, present, & future of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Future ice loss will be more extreme than any time in the past 12,000 years unless global carbon emissions are curbed.
