By documenting Alaska’s lakes and ponds in unprecedented detail, Levenson et al. show where and how water bodies can signal underlying permafrost thaw, providing a step toward a straightforward, ...
The Little Ice Age, which lasted around 500 years, had a profound impact on the environment and the people who lived around Lake Ontario.
In the face of relentless climate change, we urgently need to turn down the thermostat. Are we already too late? We tackle ...
Pigmented algae are well adapted to grow on exposed ice in the Arctic as the snowline recedes, raising concerns of a feedback ...
This experiment showed that the ice adhesion of unwashed polar bear fur is exceptionally low. While the often-accepted threshold for “icephobicity” is around 100 kPa, the unwashed fur measured as ...
Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause ...
The office of the Weather Service in Bismarck, N.D., described the conditions as “life threatening,” cautioning that wind ...
While scientists once thought Greenland's ice streams flowed slowly and uniformly, new research reveals a quake-driven "stick ...
High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.
