A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. "The dramatic changes in the Arctic warrant ...

Melting of the Antarctic ice sheet due to global warming has long-term, irreversible societal impacts with important ...

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

BOSTON – Why is sea ice continuing to melt in the Arctic? NASA researchers are aiming to find out as they just wrapped up a never-before-done experiment. The research, called Arctic ...

Picture this: ice that doesn’t melt even when it’s warm. That’s not science fiction anymore — it’s now a science fact.

Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational method to monitor the Arctic's melting ice, which holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Climate change is thinning Arctic sea ice, but contrary to conventional wisdom that’s making shipping through the North American Arctic more difficult. A study published in Nature looked ...

Researchers have unearthed nearly 1,700 ancient virus species hidden within the glacial ice of the Himalayas. These viruses, around three-quarters of which were previously unknown to science, were ...

“What is the cost of inaction?” asked Cían Sherwin, founder of Real Ice, encapsulating the feeling of urgency that drives geoengineering projects to reverse Arctic sea ice loss. While the Arctic warms ...

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of years. New research, however, suggests this drift can speed up or slow down ...
