Melting ice sheets may cause 鈥榗limate chaos鈥� according to new modelling
The weather these days is wild and will be wilder still within a century. In part, because the water from melting ice sheets off Greenland and in the Antarctic will cause extreme weather and unpredictable temperatures around the globe. A study published today in Nature is the first to simulate the effects, under current climate policies, that the two melting ice sheets will have on ocean temperatures and circulation patterns as well as on air temperatures by the year 2100.

Canada, EU, and Africa combine to allow researchers to analyze health data on the largest, most diverse scale
A patient develops a rare condition and needs answers, so their clinician searches frantically to find patients with similar, rare, symptoms and similar possible causes. To understand the mechanisms of one debilitating disease, a medical researcher tries to separate the 鈥渟ignal鈥� of causes of that disease, in particular, from the 鈥渘oise鈥� of natural biological variation of human lives and conditions.
