    Top 10 Posts for October 2016

    What happens when melting ice reveals buried nuclear waste from a foreign power originally there at the behest of a colonial power? Greenland may find out in the years ahead, according to research by Jeff and William Colgan about a Cold War-era U.S. military base long thought buried beneath an ice cap.

    Many new stories were among the most read last month. Joining the Colgans were a Wilson event on the climate efforts of small islands, a breakdown of the worrying state of many large lakes, five things to watch with new UN Secretary-General António Guterres, exploration of a violent internal flare-up over water in India, and an explanation for why so few African farmers are adopting “climate-smart agriculture.”
