ScienceDaily: Professor Edward Hanna and PhD student Richard Hall, from the University of Sheffield's Department of Geography, are part of a select group of international climate scientists investigating links between Arctic climate change and extreme weather in the northern mid-latitudes. They have found that while it is too soon to know for certain whether the Arctic played a role in persistent cold events during the extreme wet UK winter of 2013/14 and recent USA East Coast winters, new studies are adding...

A lifelong Alaskan born and raised in Barrow--an outpost on the state's northern coast--he also may have been the most qualified, considering how much he has to lose.

Grist: A man of Ben van Beurdens power and reputation for blunt speaking is capable of silencing a ballroom packed with his boisterous peers.

Van Beurden, 57, rose from a modest background in the Netherlands to the top of a cut-throat, politically fraught sector that rarely finds itself out of the public firing line.
