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