For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...
The Arctic is experiencing a vast melting of sea ice. But something is happening under the ice that scientists don’t fully understand.
Arctic ice is getting thinner by the day—and sea life is suffering A new study says the structural change has been abrupt, making life harder for everything from tiny algae to polar bears.
Sea ice both sequesters plastic from the ocean through its freeze/melt cycle and collects the pollution from above as it is deposited by wind currents.
Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...
The Last Ice Area is a sensitive ecosystem that is crucial for Arctic life and may be the only place where animals will find sanctuary in the dire face of climate change.
