The images presented are animals that are experiencing worrisome declines in populations. Most of the declines are the result of human action and most often at least partially due to climate change (e.g., see: . What have we learned from observations and CMIP5 simulations?. Chris .

Water samples collected over six years from major Arctic rivers (. www.arcticgreatrivers.org. ) were analyzed using the MagLab’s record-setting 21T ultra-high-resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. This magnet system’s resolving power is capable of determining elemental composition for tens of thousands of individual molecules in a single water sample. Combined with isotopic data, these formulae revealed both a common core amongst samples, as well as unique tracers of seasonality and a changing Arctic. . Connectivity, change, and resilience.
