THE DINOSAURS OF ARCTIC ALASKA: seventy-five million to 70 million years ago, a group of hardy dinosaurs thrived in the harsh climate of what is now northern Alaska

Article Abstract:

The article lists the species of dinosaurs found in what is now Alaska, offers descriptions, posits as to how they reached the region from Asia, how they lived in the climate of that period, and synopsizes the ongoing search by paleontologists for fossils from the meteorite collision era in order to conduct more studies on extinction theory.

The oil and the otter

Article Abstract:

Sea otters hit by the first effects of the Exxon Valdez spill, continue to feed on clams and other food in areas that contain pockets of oil, thus helping release trapped petroleum but falling sick in turn. This leaves the ecologists in a dilemma whether to remove the oil or let the animals continue digging and pay the price.
