Beavers Gnawing Away at the Permafrost The large rodents are massively changing landscapes in the Arctic, which could have serious consequences for the frozen soils…
Continuous monitoring of glaciers and ice caps has provided unprecedented insights to global ice loss that could have serious socioeconomic impacts on some regions. Seven…
A state of emergency has been declared after some 20,000 tonnes of diesel oil leaked into a river within the Arctic Circle. Images captured by…
The Arctic Ocean in summer will very likely be ice free before 2050, at least temporally. The efficacy of climate-protection measures will determine how often…
The movement of sea ice between Arctic countries is expected to significantly increase this century. The movement of sea ice between Arctic countries is expected…
Shelf sediments, freshwater runoff from rivers brings more carbon, nutrients to North Pole. Trace elements may increase with future Arctic melt releasing dissolved organic matter…
The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission takes us over part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Most of the archipelago is part of Nunavut – the largest and…
Chlamydia are infamous for causing sexually transmitted infections in humans and animals or even amoeba. An international team of researchers have now diverse populations of…
Explanation is proposed for extra heat in the oceans. The Arctic has experienced the warming effects of global climate change faster than any other region…
Permafrost plays an important role in the global climate and is also one of the components of the Earth system that is most sensitive to…
Jet Stream Not Getting ‘Wavier’ Despite Arctic Warming Rapid Arctic warming has not led to a “wavier” jet stream around the mid-latitudes in recent decades,…
Knowing where emissions are happening and what’s causing them brings us a step closer to being able to forecast the region’s impact on global climate….
Polar bears are spending more time on land than they did in the 1990s due to reduced sea ice, new University of Washington-led research shows….
New research techniques are being adopted by scientists tackling the most visible impact of climate change — the so-called greening of Arctic regions. The latest…
Arctic sea ice cannot “quickly bounce back” if climate change causes it to melt, new research suggests. A team of scientists led by the University…
Implicated in a Third of Overall Global Warming for the Time Period A scientific paper published in 1985 was the first to report a burgeoning…
The Arctic region is heating up faster than any other place on Earth, and as more and more sea ice is lost every year, we…
The oldest and thickest Arctic sea ice is disappearing twice as fast as ice in the rest of the Arctic Ocean, according to new research….
