"Mosquitoes in Iceland are more than a curiosity or future annoyance. They are a warning …" - Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler

Iceland—previously the only Arctic nation without mosquitoes—no longer holds that distinction.

"The detection of mosquitoes just north of Reykjavík in 2025 reflects an ecological shift already underway," write Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/4tg86pJ

Eddy or Not: Do Eddies Actually Transport That Much Carbon? - Eos New data from remote floats around the world indicate the eddy subduction pump is of only secondary importance.

Carbon is transported deep into the ocean by a variety of mechanisms. New research from scientists @princeton.edu shows how much one of those mechanisms—the eddy subduction pump—matters. 🧪🌊 #AGUPubs eos.org/research-spo...
