Most of the sunlight reaching the Arctic Ocean is reflected to space by sea ice, effectively shielding ocean ecosystems from sunlight. As the Arctic sea ice continues its downward trend, larger ...

The Arctic Ocean is one of the most extraordinary, unique and severely threatened regions in the global biosphere. The marine ecosystem supports more than 7,000 identified species, many of which ...

Most of the sunlight reaching the Arctic Ocean is reflected by sea ice, shielding ocean ecosystems from light. As Arctic sea ice continues to melt, larger areas of the ocean and seafloor become ...

These changes threaten the fragile Arctic Ocean ecosystem that harbors polar bears, beluga whales, narwhals and a range of fish species, such as Arctic char and Greenland halibut.

A new discovery in the remote Arctic region has stunned scientists. An international team of researchers recently found a vast collection of underwater structures along the edge of the Canadian ...

The 4th EMB Forum, recognized as an official ICARP III event, promotes the need for an ecosystem-based management approach in the Arctic Ocean, in order to adapt to and manage rapid environmental ...

“The Arctic Ocean is amazing, but it is rapidly changing,” Zhou said. “It is very likely that in the future, the Arctic Ocean is going to be another Atlantic or Pacific. There’s debate, but some Earth ...

As the ice melts, rare species could be replaced by more common ones or completely new groups, which could change the Arctic Ocean’s microbial community and affect the entire ecosystem, says a ...

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.

Over the past 25 years, the amount of summer Arctic sea ice has diminished by more than 1 million square kilometers. As a result, vast areas of the Arctic Ocean are now, on average, ice-free in ...
