| The Arctic is warming up to four times faster than the rest of the Earth. Russia has more Arctic land than any other nation, but climate data from the area has been scarce, and collaboration has become increasingly more difficult since the invasion of Ukraine. Here's how the war could have long-lasting consequences for climate science: 🌎 Excluding data from the Russian Arctic, like snowfall levels, temperature and greenhouse gas emissions, makes climate models less accurate. The problem will get worse over time. 🌎 One international collaboration to track beavers' migrations northward has already been hampered. The Arctic Beaver Observation Network's February meeting will not include a Russian representative. 🌎 For Russian scientists who started their careers in the Soviet Union, the current situation is reminiscent of the Cold War. As data dries up, they worry about the future of young Russian climate scientists. |
