2007 was tied as Earth's second warmest year
Climatologists at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City have found that 2007 tied with 1998 for Earth's second warmest year in a century. view more (2008-01-17)
Warming climate may cause arctic tundra to burn
Research from ancient sediment cores indicates that a warming climate could make the world's arctic tundra far more susceptible to fires than previously thought. view more (2008-03-05)
Greenland melt accelerating, according to CU-Boulder study
The 2007 melt extent on the Greenland ice sheet broke the 2005 summer melt record by 10 percent, making it the largest ever recorded there since satellite measurements began in 1979, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder climate scientist. view more (2007-12-12)
***Changed embargo time***Rising sea levels could be 'cancelled out' by increased snowfall
A paper published today in Science shows that the largest ice sheet in the world, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, is growing due to increased snow fall. This growth partly mitigates the sea level rise caused by melting glaciers in other areas, especially Greenland. view more (2005-05-17)
Greenland Ice Core Reveals History of Pollution in the Arctic
New research, reported this week in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, finds that coal burning, primarily in North America and Europe, contaminated the Arctic and potentially affected human health and ecosystems in and around Earth's polar regions. view more (2008-08-20)
Scientists endure Arctic for last campaign prior to CryoSat-2 launch
An international group of scientists has swapped their comfortable offices for one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet to carry out a challenging field campaign that is seen as the key to ensuring the data delivered by ESA's ice mission CryoSat will be as accurate as possible. view more (2008-05-12)
Antarctic ice shelf retreats happened before
The retreat of Antarctic ice shelves is not new according to research published this week (24 Feb) in the journal Geology by scientists from Universities of Durham, Edinburgh and British Antarctic Survey (BAS). view more (2005-02-23)
Study links ecosystem changes in temperate lakes to climate warming
Unparalleled warming over the last few decades has triggered widespread ecosystem changes in many temperate North American and Western European lakes, say researchers at Queen's University and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. view more (2008-12-17)
Successful series of measurements in Arctic sea ice
The German Research Vessel Polarstern had to prove its ice breaking capabilities in Arctic waters to gain data on two series of long-term research measurements. After working in regions up to latitude 82° N, Polarstern of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association will enter port in Reykjavik... view more...

Ice cream researchers making sweet strides with 'functional foods'
A comfort food, a tasty treat, an indulgence - ice cream conjures feelings of happiness and satisfaction for millions. Ice cream researchers at the University of Missouri have discovered ways to make ice cream tastier and healthier and have contributed to ice cream development and manufacturing for more than a century. view more (2009-11-10)
The least sea ice in 800 years
New research, which reconstructs the extent of ice in the sea between Greenland and Svalbard from the 13th century to the present indicates that there has never been so little sea ice as there is now. The research results from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, are published in the scientific journal, Climate Dynamics. view more (2009-07-01)
Lands surface change on Alaska tundra creating longer, warmer summers in Arctic
A gradual lengthening of the snow-free season in Alaska's tundra, and a corresponding northward progression of the growth of shrubs and trees, may be creating a cycle of warmer and longer summers in the Alaskan Arctic. view more (2005-09-23)
Hundreds of Antarctic Peninsula glaciers accelerating as climate warms
Hundreds of glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula are flowing faster, further adding to sea level rise according to new research published this week in the Journal of Geophysical Research. Climate warming, that is already causing Antarctic Peninsula increased summer snow melt and ice shelf retreat, is the most likely cause. view more (2007-06-06)
Improving the creaminess of ice-cream
A research team from CEIT and university staff from TECNUN (Escuela Superior de Ingenieros de la Universidad de Navarra, Basque Country), are investigating the optimum conditions for the crystallisation of ice at the time of its manufacture, with the aim of obtaining ice creams that have a better texture on contact with the palate. This research,... view more... (2003-07-30)
New cleaning protocol for future 'search for life' missions
Scientists have developed a new cleaning protocol for space hardware, such as the scoops of Mars rovers, which could be used on future "Search for Life" missions on other planets. view more (2009-06-08)
Arctic Sediments Show That 20th Century Warming Is Unlike Natural Variation
The possibility that climate change might simply be a natural variation like others that have occurred throughout geologic time is dimming, according to evidence in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper published today. view more (2009-10-26)
The Arctic offers more evidence of human influences on climate change
A new study indicates that Arctic temperatures suddenly increased during the last 50 years of the period from 1 AD to the year 2000. Because this warming occurred abruptly during the 20th Century while atmospheric greenhouse gases were accumulating, these findings provide additional evidence that humans are influencing climate. view more (2009-09-04)
Ancient Turtle Migrated from Asia to America Over a Tropical Arctic
In Arctic Canada, a team of geologists from the University of Rochester has discovered a surprise fossil: a tropical, freshwater, Asian turtle. view more (2009-02-02)
Polar Tour On Cross-Country Vehicles
Expedition called "Polar Ring" starts in mid-March this year from a town called Salekhard. The expedition members will travel on cross-country pneumatic vehicles to the east along the Arctic Ocean coast up to the Novaya Zemlya and, then, take route to the North Pole and finish in Canada by the time of ice melting in summer. Before, people reached... view more... (2004-03-26)
Twentieth "Polarstern" expedition to Arctic is drawing to a close
On October 3rd, the German research vessel "Polarstern" of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research will return to Bremerhaven from its 20th arctic expedition. During the last leg of the voyage, 44 scientists from Germany, Russia and South Korea, supported by crew members, helicopter pilots and technical staff,... view more... (2004-10-04)
