The author, Tyler Rogoway, is a revered aviation journalist. He used to write for FoxtrotAlpha. I've followed him for a couple of years and now and he always presents a very balanced stance on issues.

I miss him from when I used to read Jalopnik more regularly, I didn't follow him to his new site so thanks for pointing out that this was him. He really is a good, balanced, and knowledgeable source of military analysis.

What are the evidence this comes from the Arctic? High levels are only being detected in Poland. A much more likely explanation is that this originates from Ukraine, Krim, or Belarus. That is some 2000km from the Arctic.

How do you follow an author? Are there any special techniques or do you just manually keep track?

Man, welcome to the future.

Well, mostly unless said author has a persistent social media profile, you manually do it

You could use Google Alerts, which will send you an email every time the author name appears in a news item.

Twitter is good for this as people will generally tweet their new articles/books/etc.
