Across
  1. 3. State that will suffer a decline in wheat production
  2. 5. Surround Antarctica; their collapse contributes to sea level rise
  3. 7. Three species of penguins affected by climate change: Adelie, Chinstrap…
  4. 8. Shifted in Antarctica as a result of land mass loss; observed using GOCE
  5. 9. Only option for plant species survival when they cannot adapt to climate change
  6. 11. Emissions of this gas are increasing in the Arctic
  7. 12. Its melting increases drainage and coastal erosion
  8. 14. Population of this type of budworm is steadily increasing
  9. 15. Important penguin food source
  10. 16. Light reflected by a surface; will decrease as ice melts
  11. 17. Will replace Arctic tundra
Down
  1. 1. Will replace Arctic deserts
  2. 2. Along with salinity, causes differences in ocean density
  3. 4. Arctic ice may no longer be present during this season
  4. 6. This species will encounter a shift in foraging areas
  5. 8. Are slowed down by the movement of ice sheets
  6. 10. This species will suffer a 15% decline in population
  7. 12. This type of feedback loop is created due to methane emissions
  8. 13. Mathematical models predict the collapse of this glacier
  9. 17. Incidence increases as climate warms; threatens boreal forests
