[News Feed] Dissapearing Arctic Lakes Linked To Climate Change

[Forum Mouse]

Continued arctic warming may be causing a decrease in the number and size of Arctic lakes. The issue is the subject of a paper published in the June 3 issue of the journal "Science." The paper, titled, "Disappearing Arctic Lakes" is the result of a comparison of satellite data taken of Siberia in the early 1970s to data from 1997-2004. Researchers tracked changes of more than 10,000 large lakes over 200,000 square miles.
