A heat wave is starting tomorrow over Greenland with Tmax reaching 25°C in tundra. The integrated anomaly of melt over the next 5 days (resp. over Summer 2019) will be 40Gt ~0.11mm (resp. ~0.65mm) sea level equivalent. Summer 2019 = what the models project for 2050 using RCP85.



Thrilled to share that our new article in @ISQ_Jrnl (w/Melissa Carlson & Katerina Linos) is out now. Please find "Rumors and Refugees: How Government-Created Information Vacuums Undermine Effective Crisis Management" at the link below: academic.oup.com/isq/advance-ar…
