'Arctic near-surface wind speed (NWS) plays an increasingly crucial role in influencing the local air-sea interactions and the safety of trans-Arctic shipping, .. Using reanalysis and model simulation data sets, we reveal that the Arctic NWS has increased remarkably since the 1960s, with the strongest increase in the Arctic Ocean surface. . in a warming climate'.

'“There are two mechanisms at work,” the marine geoscientist said. “Large parts of Iceland were covered by ice caps. When they melt, there is less pressure on the magma chamber. So, for the magma it is easier to break the rock and travel to the Earth’s surface. This has caused the increase in volcanic activity in central Iceland in the past two decades. “The other mechanism is that hot rock melts when the overburden pressure reduces. This can be achieved by upward movement of the rock mass, which is the typical melt generation mechanism at hot spot volcanic systems, or directly by the melting of an overlying ice cap.”

'Iceland spreads 18–19 mm/year eastward. Iceland's strongest measured 10-minute sustained wind speed is 225 km/h and the strongest gust 267 km/h. The volcanic region in northern Tasmania is located in the Launceston area. The basaltic lava flows are located in valleys which drain into Bass Strait.'
