The Arctic Ocean current is at its warmest in the last 125,000 years, and temperatures continue to rise. Due to these warming temperatures more than two-thirds of polar bears are expected to be ...

Climate change in Earth’s polar regions is emerging as an under-recognised driver of global health risks, with consequences reaching far beyond the Arctic and Antarctic, researchers argue. A study by ...

Rapid changes in climate in the polar regions are causing observable ecological impacts of various types and degrees of severity at all ecosystem levels. Even larger changes and more significant ...

I was just four years old when my family moved to Baffin Island, Canada, where we lived in a remote village among the Indigenous Peoples known as the Inuit. I spent most of my time outside, roaming ...

Arctic sea ice has large effects on the global climate. By cooling the planet, Arctic ice impacts ocean circulation, atmospheric patterns, and extreme weather conditions, even outside the Arctic ...

Understanding the atmospheric and oceanic linkages between the rapidly changing Arctic/Antarctica and the midlatitudes is vital for improving predictions of extreme weather and assessing climate risks ...

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. The species is ...

A research team developed a satellite-based method to analyze the life cycle of ocean eddies forming along Arctic sea-ice edges. By combining sequential synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with ...
