A new study has noted concentrations of microplastics in Melosira arctica, a type of algae that grows underneath sea ice in the Arctic.

Arctic Heroes #2 - North Pole 1The first ever weather station on an ice floe was North Pole 1, set up May 21 1937 by a team of Russians and manned by four heroes.  The record of that event shows that there was more ice in 1937 than today, it was thicker, and it extended down the entire east coast of Greenland.  But thick or not, once the

A climate reconstruction study has found links between warm or cold conditions in the Arctic and rainfall over the Indian subcontinent.

Arctic Ice July 2011 - UpdateAre we headed for another 2007 style crash ?In my Arctic Ice March 2011 - Update #1,  I gave these figures for September minimum -an extent below 4 million km2 is highly probable.an extent below 3 million km2 is entirely possible if Arctic weather continues to follow the overall trends of the last decade.In April I

New research finds that a record Arctic sea ice melt season in 2007 initiated a “regime shift” to thinner, more transient ice that may be “irreversible”; another study shows that atmospheric rivers from the south are warming the Arctic in winter.

Climate change attacked crucial Arctic sea ice thickness in two sudden big gobbles instead of steady nibbling, a new study says.

Climate change attacked crucial Arctic sea ice thickness in two sudden big gobbles instead of steady nibbling, a new study says. A little more than 15 years ago, sea ice quickly lost more than half its thickness, becoming weaker, more prone to melting and less likely to recover, according to the study that emphasizes the…

Arctic sea ice is in trouble. A new study says its thickness dropped sharply in two sudden events about 15 years ago.
