A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice ...

Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause ...

Holocene paleoclimate data from the Arctic: Testing models of global ... U. & Mix, A. C. Ice sheets and sea level of the last glacial maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews 21, 1-7 (2002).

Giant cyclones of snow and ice are breaking up thin ice in the Arctic, leading to rapid ice loss events, and it’s happening more now than ever before. A scientist at OU described an unusually powerful ...

On Ellesmere Island in the Arctic, on one of the northernmost points of land in the world, sits a small permanent seismic ...

Currently, we are in an 11,000 year-long interglacial period known as the Holocene ... loss of sea ice and melting permafrost are all observed in the Arctic today, highlighting the importance ...

We use climate models to provide insights into changes in the Arctic Ocean and its sea ice cover as well as into changes in the ocean in past climates. The focus of the group is currently is on ...

This latest sea-ice low appears to have been driven by a combination of warm air, warm seas and winds breaking apart the ice. Over the 5 days to 13 February, the combined extent of Arctic and ...

"Our findings were based on high-resolution models, which consider sea ice transport through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago," said Bruno Tremblay, Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and ...

Each decade around 13% of the ice in the Arctic Ocean is lost, but scientists are now exploring whether new technology can help refreeze the sea ice and halt its rapid decline. Such is the rate of ...

As the planet heats up, the summer sea ice and all the superbly adapted life it supports—the bears, the seals, the walruses, the whales, the Arctic cod, the crustaceans, the ice algae—may well ...
