Sea Ice

Researchers at the Polar Science Center recently released their monthly PIOMAS model of the sea ice volume average in the Arctic for the month of June—and it revealed a grim decline.

Recent storms have destroyed the progress made in ice formation endangering coastal habitats and fishing practices.

But only if they are structured in a way that deemphasizes users' partisan identities.

Arctic ice north of Greenland that normally remains frozen even during the summer has opened up.

Antarctica's ice is melting faster, Guatemala slowly recovers from a volcano eruption, and the San Francisco mayoral race makes history.

Even smaller fishing boats are venturing deeper into the Arctic, an analysis finds.

Scientists, government officials, and industry representatives from around the world are working to improve sea ice forecasting in the Arctic.

A new study predicts a steep drop in fisheries' production. It's the latest in a growing body of research to show how changes to the Earth's ecosystems will cause disruption to its inhabitants.

As the world fails to reach its emissions goals, some scientists say it's time to look for other solutions to the problem.

New research finds that, as sea ice disappears, filter feeders are flourishing on the sea floor, and in the process are locking up carbon in their tissues as they grow.
