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 ...

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

He was recently part of a 12-person team that was the first to ever drive wheeled vehicles to the North Pole as part of a ...

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

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 ...

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

Sea-ice coverage in the Arctic shrinks in spring and summer and reaches a minimum in mid-September. ... The Alfred-Wegener-Institute has been measuring the thickness of Arctic sea ice for 30 years.

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 ...

Arctic sea ice declined dramatically in 2007 and has never recovered. New research suggests the loss was a fundamental change unlikely to be reversed this century, if ever — perhaps proof of the ...

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.

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 ...
