NOAA Aircraft to Probe Arctic Pollution
NOAA scientists are now flying through springtime Arctic pollution to find out why the region is warming - and summertime sea ice is melting - faster than predicted. Some 35 NOAA researchers are gathering with government and university colleagues in Fairbanks, Alaska, to conduct the study through April 23. view more (2008-04-08)
World premier for newly composed music for ice instruments
World premier for newly composed music for ice instruments: The ensemble "Voices of Ice" play at the Ice Globe Theater in the northern part of Sweden. Tuesday, March 18 is the world premier at the Ice Globe Theater in Jukkasj'Īrvi for two newly composed musical pieces by the Swedish composers Karin Rehnqvist and Bill Brunson.

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)
Why is the North Pole frozen?
Ice has been building up in the Arctic for 2.7 million years. Until now, no-one has been able to prove what mechanism brought about this accumulation of ice. However, a team of international scientists led by Antoni Rosell, a researcher for the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and... view more...

Unexplored Arctic region to be mapped
A scientific expedition this fall will map the unexplored Arctic seafloor where the U.S. and Canada may have sovereign rights over natural resources such as oil and gas and control over activities such as mining. view more (2008-09-03)

NASA Scientist Claims Warmer Ocean Waters Reducing Ice Worldwide
According to a NASA scientist, the pieces to a years-old scientific puzzle have come together to confirm warmer water temperatures are creeping into the Earth's colder areas. Those warm waters are increasing melting and accelerating ice flow in polar areas. view more (2006-03-24)
Ice Sheets Can Retreat
Modern glaciers, such as those making up the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, are capable of undergoing periods of rapid shrinkage or retreat, according to new findings by paleoclimatologists at the University at Buffalo. view more (2009-06-22)
New clues to ozone depletion
Laerge quantities of ozone-depleting chemicals have been discovered in the Antarctic atmosphere by researchers from the University of Leeds, the University of East Anglia, and the British Antarctic Survey. view more (2007-07-27)
Radar opens new window into the ice for Antarctic scientists
Scientists are getting their first glimpse into the inner secrets of an ice shelf, thanks to the innovative application of a new radar technique developed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS). view more (2006-10-17)
Antarctica - an awakening giant?
The crucial role that Antarctica plays in global climate change and its future contribution to sea-level rise was highlighted today by Professor Chris Rapley, Director of British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Speaking at an international convention on climate change in Bonn, Germany* he presented a summary of the latest scientific results from... view more... (2005-05-19)
Scientists head to warming Alaska on ice core expedition
The state of Alaska has the dubious distinction of leading the lower 48 in the effects of a warming climate. Small villages are slipping into the sea due to coastal erosion, soggy permafrost is cracking buildings and trapping trucks. view more (2008-04-30)
Global Warming: Cuts in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Would Save Arctic Ice, Reduce Sea Level Rise
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-15)
Decline in greenhouse gas emissions would reduce sea-level rise, save Arctic Sea ice
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-15)
Snowy owl -- a marine species?
Wildlife satellite studies could lead to a radical re-thinking about how the snowy owl fits into the Northern ecosystem. view more (2008-12-11)
By ice floe to the North Pole
At the end of August, an unusual expedition under Russian leadership will leave for the Arctic Ocean. One of the participants is Jürgen Graeser of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, one of the research centres of the Helmholtz Association. view more (2007-07-23)
Last time carbon dioxide levels were this high: 15 million years ago, scientists report
You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science. view more (2009-10-09)
Superfloods hit the capital @ London `Catastrophes` conference
Flooding of the world`s coastal lowlands has the potential to generate major future catastrophes. The melting of the great ice sheets in North America and Asia at the end of the last ice age caused extreme flood events that changed global climate and played an important role in human settlement and migration. These `superfloods` are probably the... view more... (2002-08-17)
ODP scientists say no large Northern Hemisphere ice sheets 41 million years ago
New research to test global ice volume approximately 41.6 million years ago shows that ice caps at this time, if they existed at all, would have been small and easily accommodated on Antarctica. view more (2007-08-23)
Study provides first-ever look at combined causes of North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean freshening
A new analysis of 50 years of changes in freshwater inputs to the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic may help shed light on what's behind the recently observed freshening of the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2006-08-25)
