Arctic Siberia Summers 10 Degree Celsius Warmer in Last Interglacial, New Study Reveals
A new study reveals that Arctic Siberia experienced summer temperatures up to 10 degree Celsius warmer than today during the Last Interglacial period, which occurred approximately 115,000–130,000 years ago. Researchers analysed sediment cores and fossil records from the Dmitry Laptev Strait to reconstruct past environments. The study found signif...

Arctic's Dramatic Changes: Worrying Trends In Snow, Ice, Wildfires And More
The Arctic can feel like a far-off place, disconnected from daily life if you aren't one of the 4 million people who live there. Yet, the changes underway in the Arctic as temperatures rise can profoundly affect lives around the world.

New Study Reveals Weaker Atlantic Current Could Mitigate Arctic Warming
Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...

Thawing Permafrost Releases Greenhouse Gases, Contributing to Global Warming
Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic's permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions f...

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...

At Minus 30 Degrees Celsius, Boiling Water Turns To Ice In Finland Winter
Finland's record low temperatures this week inspired a tourist on a trip to the Arctic to try a trick that had long intrigued him: throwing boiling water in the air when it's extremely cold outside and seeing it turn into an instant cloud of icy dust
