The Charctic Interactive Sea Ice Graph for July 15, 2019, shows that the Arctic Sea Ice Extent is now at a record low. 2012 currently stands out, the dashed green line, as the lowest summer ...

Extraordinary discovery of bones from early Ice Age period could reshape how we understand and respond to today’s climate ...

Arctic sea ice extent in February was well below average, but at the end of the month it was still higher than levels recorded in several recent years, according to the U.S.-based National Snow ...

The recent loss of sea ice in the Arctic is greater than any natural variation in the past 1½ millennia, a Canadian study shows.

In a new study, researchers warn that the Arctic Sea ice may soon be a thing of the past in the summer months. 10,000 years ago, the ice melted at temperatures similar to those we have today.

As such, Arctic sea ice is an essential part of that control system. Global warming threatens to destroy it at a given summer’s end, possibly by 2030.

According to the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), on July 15, Arctic sea ice extent stood at 7.51 million square kilometres, 330,000 square kilometres below the record for ...

That means temperatures in the arctic have increased by more than 3 degrees Celsius since the early 1980s, and that big jump in temperature is largely due to sea ice—or lack thereof.

The Arctic's sea ice hit its second lowest extent on record for January this year, with the ice extent down 498,000 square miles (1.29 million square kilometres) compared to the 1981 to 2010 ...

Arctic sea ice has sopped up and stored large quantities of microplastic pollution from populated areas in the south, a new study has found. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic from ...
