By local standards, Alaska has been sweltering this spring. Temperature records have been set across the state, including in Kotzebue, where the thermometer reached 42 degrees Fahrenheit on the last…
It’s not the first time plastic pollution has been found in ice. Previously, researchers have found plastic in remote regions such as the Arctic — now, the same researchers have now discovered…
When we think of climate change, one of the first things to come to mind is melting polar ice. However, ice loss isn’t just restricted to the polar regions. According to research published today,…
Rain is becoming more frequent in Greenland and accelerating the melting of its ice, a new study has found.
Scientists say they're "surprised" to discover rain falling even during the long Arctic…
A new study looking at variations in past sea ice cover in the Norwegian Sea found the shrinkage and growth of ice was instrumental in several abrupt climate changes between 32,000 and 40,000 years…
Antarctica and Greenland aren't the Earth's only frozen places threatened by human-caused climate change: The Himalayas are also at risk, scientists announced Monday.
In fact, a whopping two-thirds…
NASA found a giant underground cavern two-thirds the area of Manhattan and almost 1,000 feet (300 meters) tall – growing at the bottom of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica –one of several…
Climate change is revealing Arctic landscapes that haven't been seen in over 40,000 years.
Arctic temperatures are increasing faster than the Northern Hemisphere average due to strong positive…
Greenland is melting faster than scientists previously thought -- and will likely lead to faster sea level rise -- thanks to the continued, accelerating warming of the Earth's atmosphere, a new study…
A new study has found that there has been a significant decline in glaciers in Western North America.
The study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, found that glaciers have been losing mass…
Before-and-after photos of your friends have probably taken over your Facebook and Instagram feeds, but environmentalists are using the #10YearChallenge to insert a dose of truth.
Across much of the Arctic, communities and infrastructure sit on top of a thick layer of permafrost that has stabilized the ground for millennia. But as global temperatures rise, this frozen soil is…
The barren and desolate Antarctic is an intimidating sight to behold. But as if that wasn’t enough, scientists found that when the wind blows across its surface, the ice shelf hums eerie soundscapes…
Melting Arctic glaciers have contributed nearly 2.5 centimetres (one inch) to sea level rise since 1971, dumping an estimated 14,000 tons of water per second into the world’s oceans between 2005 and…
Global warming is melting ice in Antarctica faster than ever before - about six times more per year now than 40 years ago - leading to increasingly high sea levels worldwide, scientists have warned…
