Arctic ocean is warming at record pace, threatening collapse of AMOC and heightening risk of severe coastal flooding in ...

“It is very likely that in the future, the Arctic Ocean is going to be another Atlantic or Pacific. There’s debate, but some Earth system models predict that over the next several decades, there will ...

A haze of ice crystals in the air created a halo around the low sun as three snowmobiles thundered onto the sea ice on a ...

Last month, less sea ice covered the Arctic Ocean than in any other July since scientists began keeping track of it with satellites in 1979, marking another step toward a devastating and planet ...

Due to warmer temperatures in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre is currently losing large amounts of sea ice. The ice helps keeping the ocean cool, acting as a lid. Thinner sea ice allows more heat ...

Arctic sea ice is melting at an unprecedented rate ... So, we’re going from a white Arctic ocean to a blue Arctic ocean. And so, visually that’s a really big change and really illustrates ...

whereas the white surface of snow-covered ice reflects about 80 percent of incoming solar radiation back into space. As more and more of the Arctic Ocean sea ice melts over the summer months ...

Sub-zero temperatures dominated in the Arctic over winter, causing the ocean water to freeze and form sea ice. In March, however, temperatures reached as high as –10 °C in many areas, which is ...

Mohammed Ezat’s research team has now linked the warming climate and enhanced melting of Arctic sea-ice during that era to changes in regional sea-surface temperature and ocean circulation.
