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 ...

NASA's Terra satellite recently captured the seasonal breakup of sea ice in Canada's Amundsen Gulf, according to NASA's Earth ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

As Arctic sea ice melts, larger areas of the ocean become exposed to sunlight, allowing more photosynthesis to occur. However, this does not seem to be occurring uniformly. New research suggests that ...
