Continuously hotter summers and less sea ice are remaking the Arctic. Some researchers wonder what opportunities might appear ...

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 ...

One major concern is that of declining sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic. During the winter months ... the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC. An important part of the Earth’s ...

A weaker, shallower AMOC circulation, as happened during the last Ice Age, has major consequences for global climate patterns. The new insights into the role of the mixing of Atlantic and Arctic ...

The Climate Crisis is changing the face of the Arctic as ice recedes at an accelerating pace. The fresh water it is releasing ...

The Arctic frequently experiences temperatures that support the formation of mixed-phase clouds that contain supercooled ...

The ultimate goal of the Arctic experiment is to thicken enough sea-ice to slow or even reverse the melting already seen, says Dr Shaun Fitzgerald, whose team at the University of Cambridge's ...

The sea ice that blankets the Arctic Ocean isn’t the unbroken white mantle depicted in maps. It’s a jigsaw puzzle of restless floes that are constantly colliding, deforming, and fracturing ...

Those temperatures have a particularly damaging effect in the Arctic. Sea ice covers more than 14 million square kilometers (5.6 million square miles) at its maximum point each year. The ice sheet ...

July marks the midpoint of the summer sea ice melt season, during which ice declines rapidly under the almost constant Arctic sun, and melt ponds form on ice floes. Scientists study melt ponds to ...

Up to 1.5 million homes in the UK could face a higher flood risk by 2080 due to rising seas caused by melting Arctic ice - with government ... Increasing sea levels are set to erode British ...

Rising temperatures are thought to reduce the number of ice crystals in clouds, leading to the formation of liquid-dominated clouds. However, a new study has found that Arctic warming is causing an ...
