SEA ICE

The 140 million-euro mission will study the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, ecosystem and natural processes

Researchers say the more Arctic sea ice melts, the worse wildfires in California will become.

Research out of the University of Calgary says seasonal sea ice might be melting faster than we previously thought.

Researchers don't know why a huge hole formed in the middle of Antarctic sea ice.

The ICESat-2 satellite will have an instrument on board that will measure the elevation of ice worldwide.

State of the Climate in 2016 report shows higher CO2, temperatures and sea levels.

NASA is examining melt ponds and lakes in the Arctic to learn more about sea ice melt.

The Larsen C rift and iceberg “calving” is not a warning of imminent sea level rise.

If we stop emitting greenhouse gases right now, why would the temperature continue to rise?

Scientists drew a map of ocean temperatures through the ice age and compared it carbon dioxide levels to find out how the ocean evolves as the climate changes.

Canadian scientists say the environmental conditions they want to study are the same ones that caused ice conditions so dangerous they had to cancel their expedition.

As sea ice melts it drifts more quickly causing polar bears to spend more energy just to stay in one place.

Polar bears taste-test different streams of wind until they find one carrying the smell of a juicy seal, but climate change is threatening how they hunt.

These time-lapse videos really show how much climate change is doing to the Earth.

Low levels of sea ice in the Arctic break another record, according to NASA.

David Carlson, World Climate Research Program director, said, "Remarkable changes across the planet ... are challenging the limits of our understanding of the climate system."

Researchers have found that 30-50 percent of sea ice melt is natural.

Polarstern, a German vessel, will be drifting along with Arctic Sea ice for more than a year to monitor climate change.

Research by NASA has identified a new pathway meltwater from Greenland takes to reach the ocean, and another research found Canadian glaciers are now losing ice rapidly.

A report published Wednesday in the journal Biology Letters said the animals were threatened primarily by the loss of sea ice throughout their range of habitat.

Arctic sea ice may disappear much sooner than previously predicted and that melting could lead to dire consequences for the planet.
