Shipping activity has surged in the Arctic in the last decade. With that rise comes a new environmental threat. More ships in ...

The Arctic is warming four times faster than any other place on the planet. As sea ice melts, new shipping routes between continents are opening up, and the yearly window for navigating through ...

Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events—such as atmospheric rivers—by 2100, with implications for future ...

A finite element model for solving ocean circulation forced by winds and atmospheric heat fluxes is presented. It is vertically integrated 1 1/2 layer model which solves the motion and continuity ...

A small detail has major consequences. Researchers make stunning discovery about the Arctic that could impact entire globe: ...

Long-range atmospheric transport (LRAT) delivers contaminants to both sites, but the processes are different: Site M is affected by subsidence of air from the stratosphere to the Antarctic Plateau, ...

Arctic sea ice extent in May declined at a slightly faster pace compared to average. In Antarctica, the Bellingshausen Sea ...

Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be triggered by very little ocean warming above present-day, leading to a ...

The Arctic is now warming faster than most other regions in the world, potentially disrupting the key current that ...

A sudden shift high above the Arctic is stirring up unexpected chills across northern Europe. This rare atmospheric event ...

Connecting Arctic and Third Pole in research and policy is crucial for addressing climate volatility and glacial preservation ...
