The Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA)—a vital habitat for ice-dependent species—might disappear within a decade after the ...

As the planet heats up, the summer sea ice and all the superbly adapted life it supports—the bears, the seals, the walruses, the whales, the Arctic cod, the crustaceans, the ice algae—may well ...

Climate models predict that by as early as 2040 it will be possible in summer to sail across open water to the North Pole. Arctic sea ice helps cool the whole planet by reflecting sunlight back ...

While most projections of the Arctic’s sea ice have focused on month-by-month conditions, a new study has revealed possible predictions down to the day. Previous expectations had the Arctic Sea ...

The Arctic’s Last Ice Area, vital for ice-dependent species, may vanish within a decade due to rapid warming, urging urgent ...

A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ...

The ice is melting because of global warming. When humans burn fossil fuels like oil and coal, a bunch of greenhouse gases go ...

Each decade around 13% of the ice in the Arctic Ocean is lost, but scientists are now exploring whether new technology can help refreeze the sea ice and halt its rapid decline. Such is the rate of ...

Following Canada's record-breaking wildfires in 2023, a team of researchers set out to monitor their contribution to ice clouds in the Arctic. What they found has profound consequences for ...

Ice nucleating particles as a kind of aerosols have a significant impact on the Arctic climate by promoting the formation of ...
