The discovery of a tiny fish far from its normal range is a poignant reminder of the changes that are already happening

Ocean water temperatures around the U.K. and Ireland are over 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) above long-term averages for this part of the year.

Some of the most severe marine heat increases on Earth are occurring in the seas surrounding the UK and Ireland. Satellite measurements show that water temperatures in certain areas are above average for this time of year.

Evidence for Arctic-region sea ice coverage in the northern Barents Sea indicates this region was ice-free with open water conditions 9,500-5,800 years ago.

Three scientists write in a commentary that they have found that Arctic ice algae contain microplastics in startling quantities.

Last summer, we travelled to the remote Arctic Hausgarten observatory area in the eastern Fram Strait (west of Svalbard, Norway) on a research ship. T...

Arctic sea ice algae contaminated with microplastics have serious consequences for ecosystems and the climate.

Researchers stated that the algae contain ten times the amount of microplastic particles as its surrounding seawater.
