“Wheels on Ice: Stories of Cycling in Alaska” reprints three of the pieces from Cole’s original along with a selection of essays from the 1980s and ‘90s — when all-season recreational bicycling surged in Alaska — and more than 20 contributions from current Alaska cyclists.from the book at Writer’s Block in Anchorage at 6 p.m. Thursday.
In her selection, Amore mentions the fears of being a woman alone on the city’s trails, which prompt her to take roads instead. But those fears don’t extend to a group of unhoused people she has grown familiar with who are invariably friendly and welcoming.Homeless on the streets of Anchorage is where Edwin, the subject of Don Reardon’s essay, reached the end of his life.

Changes in the annual sea ice freeze–thaw cycle in the Arctic Ocean from 2001 to 2018Abstract. The annual sea ice freeze–thaw cycle plays a crucial role in the Arctic atmosphere—ice–ocean system, regulating the seasonal energy balance of sea ice and the underlying upper-ocean. Previous studies of the sea ice freeze–thaw cycle were often based on limited accessible in situ or easily available remotely sensed observations of the surface. To better understand the responses of the sea ice to climate change and its coupling to the upper ocean, we combine measurements of the ice surface and bottom using multisource data to investigate the temporal and spatial variations in the freeze–thaw cycle of Arctic sea ice. Observations by 69 sea ice mass balance buoys (IMBs) collected from 2001 to 2018 revealed that the average ice basal melt onset in the Beaufort Gyre occurred on 23 May (±6 d), approximately 17 d earlier than the surface melt onset. The average ice basal melt onset in the central Arctic Ocean occurred on 17 June (±9 d), which was comparable with the surface melt onset. This difference was mainly attributed to the distinct seasonal variations of oceanic heat available to sea ice melt between the two regions. The overall average onset of basal ice growth of the pan Arctic Ocean occurred on 14 November (±21 d), lagging approximately 3 months behind the surface freeze onset. This temporal delay was caused by a combination of cooling the sea ice, the ocean mixed layer, and the ocean subsurface layer, as well as the thermal buffering of snow atop the ice. In the Beaufort Gyre region, both (Lagrangian) IMB observations (2001–2018) and (Eulerian) moored upward-looking sonar (ULS) observations (2003–2018) revealed a trend towards earlier basal melt onset, mainly linked to the earlier warming of the surface ocean. A trend towards earlier onset of basal ice growth was also identified from the IMB observations (multiyear ice), which we attributed to the overall reduction of ice thickness. In contrast, a trend towards delayed onset of basal ice growth was iden
