Snow accumulation during winter no longer compensates for summer losses. This annual balance has been negative for decades, ...

Cosmic dust trapped, or blocked, by Arctic ice allowed researchers to map 30,000 years of sea-ice history. Their findings show strong connections between melting ice, nutrient cycling, and future ...

In addition to rising temperatures, climate change in the Arctic is leading to episodes of extreme melting, where ice loss ...

A research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) scholars has discovered a significant ...

Melting sea ice in the Arctic region is leading to extreme rainfall and flooding in South Asia. In a newly published paper, scientists predict that Arctic sea ice declines will put residents of South ...

As summer wanes in the Northern Hemisphere, scientists are sounding the alarm over what could be one of the most extreme Arctic melt seasons in recorded history — a shift with potentially far-reaching ...

The melting of Arctic ice has been one of the most profound ripple effects from climate change, an impact often depicted with images of a lone polar bear stranded on a dwindling piece of sea ice. Now, ...

The Arctic could increasingly become the site of animal-to-human disease transfer, a study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment suggests. As the ice melts, scientists warn, more ...

You have probably heard that the Arctic has less sea ice right now than humans have ever recorded. The new record, set yesterday, beat the previous low, which was measured in September 2007. "By ...

In the ocean, a shipping route is the path that ships travel. In the logistics industry, where goods must be transported quickly to generate profit, the fastest and safest path is chosen as the route.
