The once-frozen gateways of the Arctic are changing fast, and cruise companies are feeling the heat—literally. As climate change continues to accelerate the melting of sea ice, Arctic cruises ...

New research shows ocean currents like the AMOC are weakening, causing coastal flooding in the U.S. Northeast to double since 2005. Sea level rise and currents pose growing infrastructure risks. The ...

Sea ice recognition at small incidence angles has rarely been studied. Moreover, SWIM uses a discrimination flag of sea ice and sea water to remove sea ice from sea wave products. Therefore, this ...

The photo of a courageous mother lemur with a baby on her back, taking a harrowing jump in a ravine, won the California ...

New research challenges the long-held belief that the Arctic Ocean was covered by a massive ice shelf during ice ages.

Antarctic sea ice began to change rapidly in 2015 and 2016. Since then it has remained well below the long-term average.

Evidence of algae growth and climate simulations reveal the Arctic had seasonal ice, not a permanent ice shelf, for much of the past 750,000 years. These insights challenge long-standing theories. For ...

NASA's Terra satellite captured huge chunks of sea ice breaking apart in Canada's Amundsen Gulf.

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

Opinion: Opinion: New icebreakers designed to deploy and service uncrewed systems would bolster a credible Arctic defense.

Sea levels are rising by a few millimetres a year. That pace is accelerating. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that, by 2100, sea levels could rise by up to one metre on average.
