New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the consequential region.

The Arctic is experiencing a steady rise in human-generated underwater noise as melting ice and increasing activity open the region to greater vessel traffic, with major implications for wildlife and local communities.

With the rapid melting of Arctic ice, the waters have opened up to more human traffic, which is disturbing the underwater world.

The melting of Arctic ice has been one of the most profound ripple effects from climate change, an impact often depicted with images of a lone polar bear stranded on a dwindling piece of sea ice. Now, a new study has found that ice has been melting more ...

Scientists discover a tipping point that took place in 2000, where El Niño’s effect on sea ice loss in Siberia was amplified. Scientists have identified a tipping point that has amplified El Niño’s effect on sea ice loss in the Arctic.

The fight for Arctic dominance accelerates as Trump bids for Greenland against Russia's icebreaker-controlled Northern Sea Route reducing Asia-Europe shipping by 40% amid melting ice. Rare earth minerals,

NASA Langley researchers are heading to the Arctic Ocean to study the habitat's effect on climate worldwide. Scientists measured microplastic concentrations in the highly productive Barents Sea and suggest that ocean circulation, ice melt, tourism ...
