The loss of Arctic sea ice has long been a graphic measure of human-caused climate change, with wrenching images of suffering polar bears illustrating a worsening planetary crisis. Now, new research ...

The Arctic Ocean, once locked in a vault of thick, old ice, now is transforming at lightspeed. Temperatures there are increasing at up to four times the rate of the planet overall, melting sea ice ...

How is climate change influencing the Arctic climate and extreme weather? This is what a recent study published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment hopes to address as an international team of ...

Scientists report that the melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past twenty years, surprising climate experts. The study was published in the journal Geophysical Research ...

Melting Arctic ice is revealing a hidden world of nitrogen-fixing bacteria beneath the surface. These microbes, not the usual cyanobacteria, enrich the ocean with nitrogen, fueling algae growth that ...

Arctic sea ice peaked at its lowest winter maximum in nearly five decades of satellite tracking, according to measurements recorded on March 22, 2025. The record came during a month when global sea ...

Vital Arctic sea ice shrank to basically tie its lowest measured level for the winter, the season when ice grows, as a warming Earth shattered records across the continents. Arctic sea ice levels, ...
