The oceans soak up nearly 90% of the excess heat from greenhouse gases, and that hidden warming is accelerating Arctic sea ice loss and destabilizing ice sheets from below. This episode breaks down ...

Communities far from the Arctic may soon feel the ripple effects of this summer's unusual conditions in Greenland. Rising seas, higher tides during storms, and risks to food and health systems all ...

From the rapid melting of Arctic ice sheets to an increase in severe weather around the world, the effects of the rising global temperature have been documented for decades. But a recent study took a ...

TORONTO A chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic, another dramatic indication of how warmer temperatures are changing the ...

Dark algae that grow on the surface of Arctic ice sheets are likely to expand their range in the future, a trend that will exacerbate melt, sea level rise and warming. “These algae are not a new ...

Greenland’s vast ice sheet is often framed as a distant symbol of climate change, but the shifts unfolding there are poised to quietly reshape coastlines and communities far from the Arctic. If all of ...

From massive global sea level rises to disruption of regional climates, discover the impacts if Greenland's ice sheet completely ...

Science in the Arctic — and Greenland — is on the frontline of pressing challenges facing humanity, like climate change and genetics. Some researchers worry international collaboration is at risk.

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