Soot from forest fires in the Amazon might play a role in the melting of faraway ice in Antarctica. For decades, scientists have known that black carbon from burning fossil fuels or forests ...

Human-caused climate change has ravaged sea ice at both ends of Earth in what may be a disturbing new normal. February this year saw global sea ice extent hit a record low as sluggish ice growth ...

People in Nain have noticed sea ice is forming later in the year and melting earlier, which is impacting their culture and safety. (Adam Walsh/CBC) Climate change is delaying the formation of sea ice ...

Credit: Trent Schindler/NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio New research from NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Colorado measured Arctic sea ice cover on March 22 ...

A map provided by the report showed that the sea ice extent in 2017 was significantly lower than 2012 levels and the average for the second decade of the 21st century. The 2025 ice extent line was ...

Our new research shows “subglacial water” plays a far larger role in Antarctic ice loss than previously thought. If it’s not properly accounted for, future sea-level rise may be vastly ...

BUT THE ICE IS MELTING. FAST. THE GREENLAND ICE CAP IS NOW THE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE. IT’S OUTSTRIPPED THE GENERAL WARMING OF THE OCEAN, AND IT’S CONTRIBUTING MORE ...

The maximum extent of Arctic winter sea ice is well below the long-term average, with mean March levels at a record lowrigen Mittelwert, auch Monatsmittel im März mit Negativrekord The winter growth ...

The Arctic’s winter ice extent reached its lowest recorded level in March since satellite monitoring began in 1979. On March 21, 2025, the sea ice cover measured 14.45 million square kilometres ...
