Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

Scientists are aiming at pumping seawater over the frozen Arctic Ocean. They have carried out trials in the Canadian Arctic which have seen sea ice getting thickened successfully.

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

A Real Ice trial pumping seawater over the ice in Cambridge Bay, Canada, on 23 January 2024. The aim is to thicken and restore disappearing Arctic sea ice.

The study found a connection between Arctic Sea ice and growing fires in the western U.S., scientists said, and this should encourage more people to do more to reduce fire risk.

This past winter, researchers from the Center for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) at the University of Manitoba (UM) ...

In the last few decades, the Arctic sea ice has receded ever further, including increasingly in winter when the extent of sea ...

The Arctic is warming four times faster than any other place on the planet. As sea ice melts, new shipping routes between continents are opening up, and the yearly window for navigating through ...

Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from melting Arctic sea-ice into the Nordic Seas likely significantly affected ocean circulation, sending temperatures ...

Summer Arctic sea ice extent is shrinking by 12.2% per decade In 2024, Arctic ice shrank to 4.28 million square kilometers, the seventh-lowest minimum extent in the nearly 46 years that it’s ...
