By Elizabeth Devitt Sea ice extent is at record, and near record, lows for this time of year in both polar regions, leaving ...

New research reveals that Arctic sea ice loss can disrupt weather worldwide, making California drier while increasing winter humidity in parts of Europe. Using advanced models, scientists isolated ...

A study led by researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) has used a novel approach to unravel the influence of the loss of Arctic sea ice on the planet's climate, isolating ...

The Arctic reaches its maximum sea ice in March each year and then starts a six-month melt season. The National Snow and Ice ...

more warmth is absorbed by the sea, exacerbating the effects of climate change. This is known as the ice-albedo feedback. Surface temperatures in the Arctic Ocean are warming more rapidly than ...

This massive dump of fresh snow also recharged the winter snowpack with fresh, reflective snow, increasing the snow's albedo ... the ice sheet. If the entire Greenland Ice Sheet melts, sea level ...

This year's Arctic sea ice peak is the lowest in the 47-year satellite record, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center ...

As the sea ice continues to thin, it makes it easier for these warmer waters to flow deeper into the ocean, speeding up the melting process. The powerful ocean-heat/ice-albedo feedback mechanism ...
