How will Canada prepare for more heat waves and other extreme weather events? A growing lake now sits at the toe of the glacier — formed over the past decade.

The ice has collapsed in many places and is slushy and speckled with cryoconite — a combination of soot, bacteria and dust. Water in a spider web of small streams runs off of it.Pomeroy said the record-setting heat domes and wildfires this season have helped accelerate glacial melt.“A lot of the soot from the wildfires has landed on the glaciers and darkened them up…where it’s accumulative, the ice has melted faster than where it hasn’t.” Western Canada heat wave accelerates rate of glacier melt, experts say Peyto Glacier is at the headwaters to The North Saskatchewan River.

C.1.2 variant: New coronavirus strain has highest mutation rate yet, study says

recent study identified a new coronavirus strain that has the potential to become a variant of concern — like the alpha, beta and delta variants, which have slammed countries around the world with heavy waves of new COVID-19 infections and deaths. The newest strain, dubbed C.1.2, comes from the same lineage as the beta variant from South Africa, according to the study, and was first identified in May 2021. Researchers noted that it was "unexpected" to see a mutation so soon after the discovery of the original strain, C.1, back in January, but sampling and genome sequencing found that the C.1.2 variant "had mutated substantially." C.1.2 has an extremely high rate of mutation, according to the study.
