The Great Lakes ice season runs through March, and it is still possible for blasts of arctic air to reach the region and spur periods of ice formation,according to NOAA experts. However, those cold air events are more likely to be short-lived, and a major shift in weather patterns would ...
Seasonal ice in lakes plays an important role for local communities and lake ecosystems. Here we use Large Ensemble simulations conducted with the Community Earth System Model version 2, which includes a lake simulator, to quantify the response of lake i
This is a tragedy in the making for thehalf a billion peoplewho populate vulnerable coastal regions, since the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are effectively giant frozen freshwater reservoirs locking upin excess of 65 meters(over 200 feet) of equivalent global sea level rise. Since the 1990s...
The bow of an icebreaker has relatively sharp (wedge-shaped) formations, as well as a slant in the underwater portion at an angle of 20°-30° to the waterline, making it possible for the icebreaker to ride up onto the edge of the ice. The stern is designed for moving through ice in...

Ever since the End Zone-series I've been focussing a lot on PIPS ice displacement arrows and atmospheric patterns in general, but I mustn't forget about temperatures, both air and sea surface. Especially the latter could extend the melt season some more
Too crowded for comfort? There are plenty other lakes nearby to try instead. How to Pick the Best Ice Fishing Spot You’ve chosen your destination. You’ve booked your reservation or packed your shanty. You’re ready to go! But what happens when you get to your fishing spot? How do ...
Guest Post by Javier February is not over, and Arctic sea-ice extent is already over half a million square kilometers higher than last year at this day. The growing season has not ended, and 2019 Arctic sea-ice extent is already higher than the previous
The area from Long Island to Nantucket, Massachusetts was formed from glacial till, and the plethora of lakes on the Canadian Shield in northern Canada can be almost entirely attributed to the action of the ice. As the ice retreated and the rock dust dried, winds carried the material hundreds...
Look for skates with good ankle support, especially if you’re new to skating. Padding inside the boot adds comfort during long sessions on the ice. Materials The materials used in making skates affect their performance and durability.
