TL;DR: A more quantitative understanding of the behaviour of organic contaminants in varying snowmelt scenarios will depend on controlled laboratory studies combined with field investigations, and reliable numerical process descriptions will need to be developed to integrate water quality and contaminant fate models.

The toxicology of climate change: environmental contaminants in a warming world.
Pamela D. Noyes,Matthew K. McElwee,Hilary D. Miller,Bryan W. Clark,Lindsey A. Van Tiem,Kia C.E. Walcott,Kyle N. Erwin,Edward D. Levin +7 more
TL;DR: A paramount issue will be to identify species and populations especially vulnerable to climate-pollutant interactions, in the context of the many other physical, chemical, and biological stressors that will be altered with climate change.

Oil sands development contributes polycyclic aromatic compounds to the Athabasca River and its tributaries
Erin N. Kelly,Jeffrey W. Short,David W. Schindler,Peter V. Hodson,Mingsheng Ma,Alvin K. Kwan,Barbra L. Fortin +6 more
TL;DR: In the Athabasca and its tributaries, development within the past 2 years was related to elevated dissolved PAC concentrations that were likely toxic to fish embryos, indicating that major changes are needed to the way that environmental impacts of oil sands development are monitored and managed.

Revolatilization of persistent organic pollutants in the Arctic induced by climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis confirms that warming is remobilizing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into the atmosphere from sinks such as snow and ice, a process that will increase the risk of exposure to these toxic chemicals.

TL;DR: A review of physical processes and chemical reactivity in surface snow with relevance to polar regions is presented in this paper, focusing on impurities in distinct compartments of surface snow, such as snow crystals, grain boundaries, crystal surfaces, and liquid parts.

Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis Summary for Policymakers:
Abstract: The Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report describes progress in understanding of the
human and natural drivers of climate change1, observed climate change, climate processes and attribution, and
estimates of projected future climate change. It builds upon past IPCC assessments and incorporates new findings from the past six years of research. Scientific progress since the TAR is based upon large amounts of new and more
comprehensive data, more sophisticated analyses of data, improvements in understanding of processes and their
simulation in models, and more extensive exploration of uncertainty ranges.
Madden‐Julian Oscillation
TL;DR: The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant component of the intraseasonal (30-90 days) variability in the tropical atmosphere as mentioned in this paper, which consists of large-scale coupled patterns in atmospheric circulation and deep convection with coherent signals in many other variables, all propagating eastward slowly through the portion of the Indian and Pacific oceans where the sea surface is warm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for measuring ECOTOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS of PCBs in aqua-toxins and showed that the method can be used to detect the presence of PCB in aquatic ecosystems.

A Seasonal Snow Cover Classification System for Local to Global Applications
TL;DR: In this article, a new classification system for seasonal snow covers is proposed, which has six classes (tundra, taiga, alpine, maritime, prairie, and ephemeral) defined by a unique ensemble of textural and stratigraphic characteristics.
