Kathy Conlan's 'Under The Ice'

The young-adult romance novel Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle tells exciting adventures of teenagers realizing the love they dreamed of won’t always play out like in the movies. This book follows Jubilee, Tobian, and Addie who discover that love can come at the worst timing sometimes. Whether that be on a train stuck in a blizzard, a journey to your local Waffle House, or just a barista trying to keep a promise to a friend. This book reminds its readers that both love and friendship can be the most important thing in one's world and sometimes its the only way to get through the hardest times.

All the mornings. Shayla go to the bus stops. The manager said to her that she needed to change her bus because somebody break the window during the early morning. She said that it was okay. Shayla was very tired because she wake up all the mornings before going to the bus stops. She always has sleepy during the half day.She likes to do exercise all the early mornings because she feel more comfortable. Every body said to her that she looks same that his aunt’s.

A few types of polar seal have learned to survive on and under the ice all year round

DeVries and his colleagues originally went to Antarctica to study respiratory metabolism in fish but what he noticed was that when they caught the fish and put it in an aquarium at freezing point seawater -1.09, the fish survived except for some of the deepwater fish. When those fish touched the ice that formed on the cooling coils of the aquarium, they froze.

In the last few decades, various marine species of Antarctic ecosystem have been brought close to extinction because of human activities in various forms such as pollution from sewage and other contaminants, overfishing and other mixed activities and

Climatic fluctuations led to major changes in the Arctic geography, effectively increasing the diversification of high-latitude organisms, including the lagomorphs that lived in those latitudes, in the Pleistocene. The organisms expanded into the new available habitats while the glaciers receded. One of these refugiums, Beringia, in Arctic North America during the glacial maxima, has been subjected to extensive research while many other refugiums have been hypothesized such as a High Canadian Arctic refugiums (Waltari et al. 2005). Furthermore, during the last glacial maximum some coastlines in the High Canadian Arctic were ice free (Waltari et al. 2005). Eurasia was less glaciated than North America during the glacial maxima, yet a large sheet

In the short story “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessig, the main character Jerry teaches the reader that you can achieve your goals if you put dedication towards them, because he puts his time into exercising his lungs so he can stay underwater, and he also does not give up even when he does too much and his nose begins bleeding. “Again and again he rose, took a big chestful of air, and went down. Again and again he groped over the surface of the rock, feeling it, almost hugging it in the desperate need to find the entrance”. (3) Jerry, the eleven-year-old boy, wanted to discover the beach in the water as much as he possibly could. He wanted to be just like the boys he discovers.

A study that was created by Florida Institute of Technology, talked about how the king crabs who could hurt the ecosystem because of the warming waters. From the Antarctic Peninsula warming up is letting the king crabs go from their deep sea homes to the shallow waters. The land creatures will not know what to do if the crabs came up to the surface. With the other creatures, they never had seen crustaceans because they have been in the deep sea. With the data that was collected, it could not be proven that the crustaceans will move to surface. Researchers also found nothing that could stop the king crabs from coming up to the shallow waters even if it got warm. To prove the hypothesis, the hypothesis had to be tested. The researchers who worked

The CARVE mission goals intend to answer important questions about Earth climate change. Ultimately, CARVE will provide an integrated set of data that will provide unprecedented experimental insights into Arctic carbon cycling. Over the last several decades, climatologists have found that Arctic regions, in particular, have been affected most ecologically, for overall global increased temperature changes resulting from greenhouse gas emissions. Landscapes in the Arctic have change dramatically over the last decade alone. As tundra has thawed earlier than seasonally normal, and Arctic ice has melted in oceans year around

It contains an expanse of tundra with many marshes and lagoons with rivers situated between foothills of the Brooks Range and the wide, icy waters of the Beaufort Sea. Environmentalists said that this area “is the most biologically productive part of the Arctic Refuge for wildlife and is the center if wildlife activity.” The importance of these resources is not measurable. The Arctic is home to such animals as caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, whales, wolves and snow geese. This area is full of wildflowers and contains water of excellent, unpolluted quality and quantity. The Arctic Ocean costal plain is an area critical to the survival of many birds and mammals (‘Alaska Wild’).

Altogether, the author effectively shows the damages that climate change causes on the Arctic Ocean. This includes changes in the water’s components, the loss of marine life, and rising oceans. The author is also able to show how imminent these problems are today, and that this is not just a topic for the future. This topic is important because the world’s emissions of greenhouse gases is hurting the ice caps exponentially, which will cause a ripple effect of harmful

Once, a long time ago, Loren Irvin a teenage boy, lived with his tribe, the Khourdot, in the dead cold of the ice caps near Antarctica. At the time there were no tides, but this was causing a rapid melting of the ice caps which were home to many animals. These were not only the homes to the animals though, these animals were the Khourdots source of food, but no animals were coming on the ice caps due to their home being washed away.

Study conducted by British Antarctic Survey in 2004 emphasized that Antarctic krill numbers are declining. Krill are very significant to the Antarctic food web and this decline could threaten whales, seals and penguins all of which rely on krill. The decline of krill has been associated to a intense decline in sea ice, their habita. Sea ice is a vigorous feeding ground for the enormous number of krill in the Southern Ocean. The research shows that krill decreased by about 80% since the 1970s. Krill feed on the algae which are found under the surface of the sea ice. The Antarctic Peninsula, an important breeding ground for the krill, has experienced an unusual shrinkage of sea ice.

Overarching Goal: This proposed EPSCoR will focus on the impact of glacial melt on the physics and chemistry of the marine environment, and their consequences for the intertidal and coastal biological communities.

The Arctic is global warming’s canary in the coal mine. It is a highly sensitive area which is profoundly affected by the changing climate. The average temperature in the Arctic is rising twice as fast as elsewhere in the world (nrdc.org). Because of this, the ice cap is getting thinner, melting away, and rupturing. Here is an example of this; the largest ice block in the Arctic, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, had been around for 3000 years before it started cracking in 2000 (nrdc.org) By 2002, the Ward Hunt has cracked completely through and had started breaking into smaller pieces. The melting ice caps are affecting the earth and its inhabitants in many ways. In this paper, the following concepts and subjects will be
