Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Greenland's Fossils Reveal an Ice-Free Tundra Less Than a Million Years Ago: Report
Recent research reveals that Greenland, now 98% covered in ice, was almost entirely ice-free at some point in the last million years. Fossils of plants like willow and Arctic poppy, found in an ice core sample from the island’s center, suggest a once-thriving tundra ecosystem. This discovery is significant because it challenges previous beliefs t...

Greenland Ice Sheet Depleting Faster Than Forecast, Irreversibly Committed to Sea Level Rise
Greenland's ice sheet is reportedly losing ice faster than previously estimated. A new report claims that it is destined to lose over 100 million metric tons of ice before re-establishing balance with the prevailing Arctic climate.

Arctic Is Warming Nearly Four Times Faster Than the Rest of the World – New Research
A new study has suggested that the Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the world over the past 43 years. This means the Arctic is on average around 3 degree Celsius warmer than it was in 1980. The Arctic sea ice is covered in a bright layer of snow which reflects around 85% of incoming solar radiation back out to space.

Scientists Discover Unique Group of Polar Bears Relying on Glacial Ice in Southeast Greenland
Scientists have discovered a unique group of polar bears with distinct behaviour in southeast Greenland, that have remained isolated for hundreds of years. These polar bears are genetically different from other polar bears. While polar bears in the Arctic region usually depend on sea ice to hunt seals, the new group of polar bears appears to have ...
