Scientific studies reveal the interconnectedness of different regions of the planet. Scientists issue alarming prediction ...

A recent study is shedding light on the ongoing accumulation of mercury pollution in the Arctic — despite the international ...

Large sea anchors could be used to drag water under a bold plan to keep the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

"Transport of mercury from major sources like China to Greenland via ocean currents can take up to 150 years," says Rune Dietz. "This helps explain the lack of decline in Arctic mercury levels." ...

The in-depth analysis reveals how local tidal currents strongly affect the movement of sea ice in the Arctic ocean and provides an unprecedented look at how the makeup of the seafloor is causing ...

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

Now, new research has found that Arctic Ocean sea ice is shrinking even faster than previously thought — and that the Arctic may start to see its first “ice-free” days within the current decade.

New research suggests continued global warming could put a major Arctic ocean current in serious trouble, and that the consequences could extend far beyond the North. Known as the Beaufort Gyre ...

Summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean might be a thing of the past by the 2030s, no matter what we do to curb emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, an international study ...

Clam shells could help scientists understand the Atlantic Ocean’s sensitive circulation system — and predict whether that crucial system might catastrophically collapse.

As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research.

New research suggests continued global warming could put a major Arctic ocean current in serious trouble, and that the consequences could extend far beyond the North. Known as the Beaufort Gyre ...
