Abstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Search for impact ejecta at the Paleocene–Eocene boundary
Abstract Almost 10 years have passed since microtektites and microkrystites were reported for the Paleocene–Eocene (P–E) boundary in drill cores and outcrop in New Jersey and in ODP Hole 1051B in the western North Atlantic. The glassy spherules were interpreted to reflect an impact trigger for the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM).

Photosynthetic primary production in the Mesoproterozoic
Summary The Mesoproterozoic atmosphere had more CO2 and less O2 than at present. While the upper ocean was oxygenated, the deeper ocean was euxinic or ferruginous. Primary production was performed by Chlorobia, Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Archaeplastida.

Forecasting Climate Change Using a Multivariate Cointegrated System
ABSTRACT A cointegrated vector equilibrium correction model of key climate variables including sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, Arctic sea‐ice extent and sea‐level change is built, driven by radiative forcing in which a stochastic trend arises due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.

The Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership: An Example of Science Applied to Societal Needs [PDF]
Northern Eurasia, the largest landmass in the northern extratropics, accounts for ~20% of the global land area. However, little is known about how the biogeochemical cycles, energy and water cycles, and human activities specific to this carbon-rich, cold

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Effects of warming on plant uptake of post‐fire nitrogen in an arctic heath tundra
Summary Postfire nitrogen (N) becomes increasingly important with the rising frequency of fires in arctic tundra, and climate warming is expected to accelerate plant recovery following fire. However, how plants differ in utilizing this postfire N and how their postfire N uptake responds to warming remains unknown.
