Scientists say global heat that inched into worrisome new territory this week is a clear example of how pollutants released by humans are warming their environment. But the unofficial records

Since hitting a record low minimum back in February, the amount of Antarctic sea ice has stayed well below normal all year.

NASA's Aqua satellite spotted giant ice swirls stretching for hundreds of miles in the Sea of Okhotsk off Russia's P'yagina Peninsula.

Each spring, opalescent icebergs from the Greenland ice sheet pass through Iceberg Alley, off the eastern edge of Canada, on a slow-motion journey southward.

As climate change rapidly melts the Arctic, seaways once blocked by ice are starting to thaw. Ahead of the boom of sea traffic expected to traverse the region, Johns Hopkins APL scientists have leveraged artificial intelligence to produce sea ice forecasts that will ensure safer passage through the frigid waters.

Global oceans had their warmest April on record, and the Southern Hemisphere had its warmest month on record, beating March 2016.

A closer look at the junction where a Greenland glacier crunches into the ocean floor, known as its grounding line, has revealed less stability amid the shifting of tides – and therefore a greater rate of melting – than previously estimated thanks...

This year is shaping up to be one of top four warmest years on record – and has a modest chance of being the warmest on record.
