NASA Baffled By Mysterious Ice Circles In The Arctic
World News | Cleve R. Wootson Jr., The Washington Post | Tuesday April 24, 2018
Somewhere in the Arctic sea ice, where the temperatures are typically below freezing on even the balmiest days, there is a random pattern of holes, and NASA - the literal rocket scientists who took us to the moon and want to take us to Mars - can't figure out what they are.
Here's Why 2 Degrees Celsius Global Warming Cap Won't Save Arctic Sea Ice
World News | Agence France-Presse | Tuesday April 3, 2018
Even if humanity stops global warming in its tracks at two degrees Celsius, long seen as the guardrail for a climate-safe world, Arctic sea ice will still disappear in some years, scientists have warned.
Fast-Melting Arctic Is Already Altering Ocean's Circulation, Say Scientists
World News | Chris Mooney, The Washington Post | Thursday March 15, 2018
Scientists studying a remote and icy stretch of the North Atlantic have found new evidence that fresh water, likely melted from Greenland or Arctic sea ice, may already be altering a key process that helps drives the global circulation of the oceans.
Arctic Sea Ice May Be Declining Faster Than Expected: Study
World News | Reuters | Wednesday October 25, 2017
Arctic sea ice may be thinning faster than predicted because salty snow on the surface of the ice skews the accuracy of satellite measurements, a new study from the University of Calgary said on Tuesday.
Thinning Arctic Sea Ice Lets In Light, Prompts Algae Bloom: Study
World News | Reuters | Thursday March 30, 2017
Climate change is stirring life in the Arctic Ocean as thinning sea ice lets in more sunlight, allowing microscopic algae to bloom in the inhospitable region around the North Pole, scientists said on Wednesday.
The Arctic Is 'Behaving So Bizarrely'
World News | Chris Mooney, The Washington Post | Monday December 26, 2016
Last month, temperatures in the high Arctic spiked dramatically, some 36 degrees Fahrenheit above normal - a move that corresponded with record low levels of Arctic sea ice during a time of year when this ice is supposed to be expanding during the freezing polar night.
Polar Bear Numbers To Plunge A Third As Sea Ice Melts: Study
World News | Agence France-Presse | Wednesday December 7, 2016
Polar bear numbers could drop a third by mid-century, according to the first systematic assessment, released Wednesday, of how dwindling Arctic sea ice affects the world's largest bear.
This Strange Little Sea Snail Uses Water Wings To 'Fly'
Offbeat | Rachel Feltman, The Washington Post | Sunday February 21, 2016
This aptly-named Arctic "sea butterfly" (Limacina helicina) is the subject of a new study in the Journal of Experimental Biology. It turns out that its way of swimming doesn't just look like flying - the mysterious creature really does use the same biomechanics as animals that fly through the air.
India Seeks Increased Participation in Arctic Council
India News | Press Trust of India | Tuesday May 5, 2015
India has favoured increased cooperation in the Arctic Council in view of the geo-strategic importance of the Arctic Sea and the region's important role in governing climate change that has global consequences.
