Arctic ice melt slower thanks to ozone protections
Measures adopted in 1987 to protect the ozone layer have pushed the first ice-free summer in the Arctic back by up to 15 years.

Reducing the carbon footprint of Antarctic research could be achieved by reducing the speed of ships and international cooperation on logistics.
An insurance dispute forced the postponement of last years leg, but the organisers have new ship that will allow the scientific and artistic voyage to go on
With their keels in the water and the wind in their sails, IMOCA boats could be the missing pieces in the counting of carbon dioxide molecules passing from the atmosphere to the sea and vice versa
Antarctic sea ice is not nearly as responsive to global warming as Arctic sea ice
Ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica has increased five-fold since the 1990s, and now accounts for a quarter of sea-level rise, according to the European Space Agency
Ships are saving time and money by sailing though the Arctic, but increasingly frequent fog due to sea-ice loss is slowing its progress.
Greenland experienced its warmest and wettest September in recorded weather history in 2022, a European Union report published in April finds.
Antarctica warmed and the rest of the world also felt the effects of massive calving events during the last ice age, only Greenland remained unaffected.
When we look at the fish larvae drifting in the currents of the Chukchi Sea, the purely arctic species give way to species from the Pacific.
In April, an international research team “rescued” about 300 years of climate history from a glacier on Svalbard.
Much faster than previously thought, ice sheets can collapse and contribute to sea level rise.
While we are struggling to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, Norwegian scientists have just discovered a new natural source of methane that diffuses from the Arctic Ocean’s subsoil.
According to Australian researchers, the deep-sea circulation could be on the verge of collapse with significant consequences for marine ecosystems and the global climate.
A high-level delegation from Greenland visits Switzerland to deepen cooperation in natural disaster response and research.
For days, the thermometers at the Amundsen-Scott station at the South Pole have been showing temperatures far above normal and there is already talk of a heat wave
Frequent, smaller breakoffs and an increase in flow velocity were signs of Larsen-B collapse, according to a new study.
Climate scientists point to the deficit in understanding climate drift.
Ice algae, krill, copepods, and fish are already experiencing changes in their habitat in the sea ice. A study now clarifies how they respond.
The Pacific phenomenon El Niño could cause Antarctic ice shelves and ice sheets to melt irretrievably, while sea ice remains longer.
The Thwaites Ice Shelf is melting from below much more slowly than previously thought, but not everywhere – melting is faster in crevasses.
El Niño and La Niña climate phenomena influence ice melt in the Barents and Kara Seas.
Released by phytoplankton, dimethyl sulfide may play an important role in regulating global climate.
In the regions of Greenland where it is supposed to be coldest, researchers found a warming within ten years that was unprecedented in the last 1,000 years.
