ORONO, Maine, May 12 -- The University of Maine issued the following news release:
Karl Kreutz and colleagues previously discovered from ice cores from Alaska's Mount Hunter that a doubling of snow accumulation and 60-fold increase in summer melt since the 1850s -- the industrial era -- is linked to warming in the Tropical Pacific Ocean.
The movement of heat from the Pacific, through Alaska, and into the Arctic contributes to Arctic amplification, or the rate of w . . .
