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...
