DRIVING THE ICE ROAD: A JOURNEY ALONG A COMMUNITY’S DISAPPEARING LIFELINE
Seen from above, the road could be mistaken for a river or stream. Curving through boreal forest, its palette exists on a spectrum: some parts are white with snow; others dim with muted yellow or glistening blue. When the sun hits, it ceases to hold colour at all and is instead reflective, sending light from above right back to where it came.

DESPITE STAFF AND BUDGET CUTS, NOAA ISSUES CRITICAL DROUGHT WARNINGS IN ITS SPRING CLIMATE OUTLOOK The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, although battered by Trump administration attempts to impose massive staff and budget cuts on the agency, nevertheless continues to publish critical climate information, including some dire drought warnings in the spring outlook published March 20 by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center.
Other recent research suggests drought risks in North America have been widely underestimated by major climate reports, as rising global temperatures bake the moisture out of plants and out of the soil itself.

EXPLORING THE FUTURE OF FROZEN WATER
Understanding ice dynamics in the Yukon’s St. Elias Mountains to prepare for sea level rise and protect water resources. By The Water Institute, University of Waterloo As the world focuses on glacier preservation this UN World Water Day, researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring the glaciers of the Yukon’s St. Elias Mountains. These massive bodies of ice, part of the planet’s highest coastal mountain range, are more than just stunning landscapes—they are a vital source of Canada’s frozen water and key to understanding sea level rise and future water security.

NASA ANALYSIS SHOWS UNEXPECTED AMOUNT OF SEA LEVEL RISE IN 2024
Last year’s increase was due to an unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers. Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion. According to a NASA-led analysis, last year’s rate of rise was 0.23 inches (0.59 centimeters) per year, compared to the expected rate of 0.17 inches (0.43 centimeters) per year.
