Sea Ice To Ocean Currents, Antarctica Is Undergoing Abrupt Changes
Melting sea ice allows oceans to warm more rapidly, which melts more sea ice. Once triggered, they can be difficult or even impossible to reverse on timescales meaningful to humans.

Arctic Sea Ice Hits Lowest Peak In 47-Year Satellite Record: US Agency
This year's Arctic sea ice peak is the lowest in the 47-year satellite record, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said Thursday.

Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Emergence Of Deadly Virus May Be Linked To Melting Arctic Sea Ice: Study
Decline of ice in the Arctic sea can lead to the emergence of a deadly virus that could threaten marine life in the North Pacific, says a recent study.

NASA Baffled By Mysterious Ice Circles In The Arctic
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.

Thinning Arctic Sea Ice Lets In Light, Prompts Algae Bloom: Study
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.

Polar Bear Numbers To Plunge A Third As Sea Ice Melts: Study
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.
