An Arctic air mass kept its grip on much of the central and eastern U.S. on Friday, plunging temperatures to record lows as snow blanketed central Colorado and the Pacific Northwest braced for an ...

Giant cyclones of snow and ice are breaking up thin ice in the Arctic, leading to rapid ice loss events, and it’s happening more now than ever before. A scientist at OU described an unusually powerful ...

Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause ...

After a summer of fasting on land, the bears need to get back to their frozen home to hunt seals and bulk up. But their ...

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 ...

Extensive evidence, including global temperature and sea ice data, shows Earth's climate is changing due to human activity.

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 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 ...
