As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research. A study ...

A bold plan to pump seawater over the frozen Arctic Ocean could offer humanity a final chance to save the region’s vanishing sea ice. Field trials conducted this year in the Canadian Arctic to ...

Unprecedented look at what influences sea ice motion in the Arctic A new in-depth analysis of sea ice motion in the fastest-warming part of the globe shows how Arctic Ocean sea ice responds to ...

This addition contributes to the Seabed 2030 project, which aims to map the entire ocean floor by 2030. The project, launched in 2017, published its findings in -Scientific Data by Nature.

The Arctic Ocean has always been a region that’s fascinated University of Delaware doctoral student Tianyu Zhou. While most of humanity lives in the world’s temperate zone, the polar ocean seems like ...

Most of the sunlight reaching the Arctic Ocean is reflected to space by sea ice, effectively shielding ocean ecosystems from sunlight. As the Arctic sea ice continues its downward trend, larger ...

New research by an international team of scientists explains what's behind a stalled trend in Arctic Ocean sea ice loss since 2007. The findings indicate that stronger declines in sea ice will ...

Multibeam probes and nuclear submarine under the Arctic ice In order to carry out the IBCAO 4.0 map, the team used the same technology used in the submarine study in other regions of the ocean.

A clear relationship emerged, they say. From 1992 to 2006, the rate of sea ice loss in the Arctic Ocean dropped dramatically year to year, culminating in a then-record low in September 2007 (shown).

In the Arctic Ocean, sea ice is shrinking as the climate heats up. In the Western U.S., wildfires are getting increasingly destructive. Those two impacts are thousands of miles apart, but ...
