Arctic sea ice has receded ever further, including increasingly in winter when the extent of sea ice is at its most prominent ...

The study’s authors noted in their research paper that the earliest ice-free conditions in the Arctic might be seen before 2030 and added iceless Arctic days would be inevitable by 2050. The ...

A study done by a team of scientists from Spain, Norway, France, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. has revealed how the melting of sea ice in the Arctic is contributing to the changes in weather ...

The average was an ice-free period of 27 days, meaning that an ice-free day could in fact turn into an ice-free month. August and September were the most likely months for such conditions to happen.

The Arctic Ocean has always been a region that’s fascinated University of Delaware doctoral student Tianyu Zhou. While most of humanity lives in the world’s temperate zone, the polar ocean seems like ...

And 95 percent of the oldest sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk over the past 30 years. The loss is mainly attributed to the warming of the climate due to human-caused greenhouse gases being ...

Sea ice loss is not only damaging to wildlife, plants and the roughly 4 million people who live in the Arctic — it has global consequences. Sea ice acts like a giant mirror, reflecting the ...

New research shows that climate change is causing the Earth’s ice sheets to shrink much faster than previously thought — the annual rate of sea ice loss has more than tripled since the 1990s.

“Arctic sea ice loss is the most important factor in climate change,” said MacAyeal, ... We can also try to map sea-ice thickness or strength by combining data from multiple sensors.” The scientists ...
