Role of Land-Surface Changes in Arctic Summer Warming

A major challenge in predicting Earth’s future climate state is to understand feedbacks that alter greenhouse-gas forcing. Here we synthesize field data from arctic Alaska, showing that terrestrial changes in summer albedo contribute substantially to recent high-latitude warming trends. Pronounced t...
