To measure water depth and salinity, the OMG project dropped probes by plane into fjords along Greenland’s coast. Shown here is one such fjord in…
Schematic showing aerosol processes of climate relevance in the Arctic for polar night. Abbreviations stand for: INP — ice nucleating particles, IR — infrared. Red…
Marine Heatwaves Becoming More Intense, More Frequent When thick, the surface layer of the ocean acts as a buffer to extreme marine heating—but a new…
It’s official: 2020 ranks as the second-hottest year on record for the planet, knocking 2019 down to third hottest, according to an analysis by NOAA…
A research team – the first to carry out a survey of global ice loss using satellite data – has discovered that the rate at…
Warming seas are accelerating the retreat of Greenland’s coastal glaciers. Sverdrup Glacier in northwest Greenland is pretty average. It is a textbook example of the…
Meltstream cuts through Greenland ice sheet. Credit: Ian Joughin The rate of global ice loss is speeding up, according to new research. And the findings…

Massive deployment of Direct Air Capture could reverse the rise in global temperature well before 2100, but only with immediate and sustained investments from governments…
2020 Earth’s average temperature has risen more than 1.2°C (2°F) since the late 19th century. Earth’s global average surface temperature in 2020 tied with 2016…
Oxygen levels in the ancient oceans were surprisingly resilient to climate change, new research suggests. Scientists used geological samples to estimate ocean oxygen during a…
In warmer waters, shark embryos grew faster and used their yolk sac quicker, which is their only source of food as they develop in the…
1979 – 2019 Throughout 2020, the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas endured several notable weather and climate events. In spring, a persistent heatwave over Siberia…
For animals in the Arctic, life is a balancing act. Seasonal cues, such as warmer spring temperatures or cooler temperatures in the fall, tell animals…
1985 – 2015 A recent study of Greenland’s ice sheet found that glaciers are retreating in nearly every sector of the island, while also undergoing…
Aleutian Islands are an archipelago comprising dozens of islands with 40 active and 17 dormant volcanoes. A researcher from MIPT has proposed a new explanation…
