New research reveals Antarctic sea ice has hit record lows three times since 2017, creating cascading effects on global ...

On her first dedicated scientific voyage to Antarctica in March, the Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina found the area sea-ice ...

Long-lost 1960s aerial photos let Copenhagen researchers watch Antarctica’s Wordie Ice Shelf crumble in slow motion. By ...

Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's ...

Sea ice thickness and overall Arctic health is crucial even to areas thousands of miles away that don't freeze up, Sumata said. “It will affect the entire Earth because the north and south pole ...

The dramatic loss of sea ice around Antarctica has occurred with the re-emergence of the Maud Rise polynya in the Weddell Sea ...

Josh Jones, researcher with UAF’s Geophysical Institute and International Arctic Research Center, tows a sled of equipment that measures sea ice thickness along the coast of Utqiaġvik on April ...

Recent record summer lows in Antarctic sea ice provide a window into a future warmer climate with more extreme events — but ...

Sea ice thickness is notoriously hard to study and model. Interactions between the ice, ocean and Earth's atmosphere affect sea ice thickness in ways that scientists don't fully understand.

For example, sea ice thickness has already reached a new climate state in the central Arctic region, as there is a relatively small variability in year-to-year thickness.

A Real Ice trial pumping seawater over the ice in Cambridge Bay, Canada, on 23 January 2024. The aim is to thicken and restore disappearing Arctic sea ice.

Climate change attacked crucial Arctic sea ice thickness in two sudden big gobbles instead of steady nibbling, a new study says. A little more than 15 years ago, sea ice quickly lost more than ...
