Since 1979, Arctic sea ice extent, a term that describes the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice, has been reduced by 40% in the late summer months. Global climate models have consistently ...

The new study reveals that the Arctic seismology station was picking up tiny vibrations from ocean waves crashing into the shore miles away—indirectly tracking the rise and fall of ice. This data is ...

The rapid melting and thinning of the Arctic ice have sparked serious concerns in the scientific community. In addition, sea ice thickness also has ...

Now, using field and climate data, scientists have linked aerosols emitted by Canadian wildfires in 2023 to the formation of ice clouds over the Arctic Ocean. Ice nucleating particles as a kind of ...

They will learn about Arctic Ocean currents, sea ice, research technology, and expedition planning, and they will even send small wooden boats to the North Pole to track their movements. Local ...

For bears of both the market and polar kind, a planet without an ice cap is a tragedy ... It traverses the Central Arctic Ocean, which is much deeper. It avoids territorial waters, cooling ...
