Starting on October 5, 2021, a pair of team members with the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment are set to lead a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to educate participants about what climate change looks like in the Arctic.

An extreme heat event, breaking all previous records, occurred over southwestern Alaska in the summer of 2019. Analyses using a new high-resolution climate model suggest that the extreme heat event was made up to 6 percent more likely by the impacts of increasing greenhouse gases.

In mid-August 2021, a late-summer heatwave struck Greenland, causing widespread melt on the ice sheet and rain at the summit.
