ICEBlock, launched in April, encourages users to “see something, tap something” when they see ICE agents nearby.

The dramatic loss of sea ice around Antarctica has occurred with the re-emergence of the Maud Rise polynya in the Weddell Sea ...

Menounos and his co-authors conclude that even though B.C.’s glaciers are melting faster, they may have reached their peak ...

Albedo is the reflection of sunlight back into space, mainly from bright surfaces such as clouds, snow, ice and atmospheric particles, providing an essential planetary cooling shield. However, a ...

Scientists may have underestimated global warming's severity. Here's how The algae that grows on patches of ice in Antarctica alters the albedo — or the ice's reflectivity — enough to make the ...

This creates a bio-albedo feedback loop, which is expected to further intensify with a warming climate and a longer melt season (Healy and Khan, 2023; Khan et al., 2021). Mapping the spatial and ...

The rate of Arctic surface warming has reached 2 to 4 times the global average—a phenomenon known as "Arctic amplification." Traditional theories suggest that snow and ice melt reduce surface albedo, ...

Ice-Albedo 1 Articles Tipping Points In The Climate System: The Worst Kind Of Positive Feedback February 5, 2020 by Lewin Day 266 Comments ...

Traditional theories suggest that snow and ice melt reduce surface albedo, leading to greater absorption of solar radiation and forming a positive "ice-albedo feedback" loop.

Arctic sea ice hit a record low for the end of the region’s winter last month, in a stark sign of how climate change is opening up the North Pole to a geopolitical race for military and energy ...
