“Anti-greenhouse gas”: more dimethyl sulfide in Arctic atmosphere
Released by phytoplankton, dimethyl sulfide may play an important role in regulating global climate.
Study shows warmest decade in the middle of Greenland in a thousand years
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.
Simulating the Transport of Icebergs to Cape Town
Since the 2018 drought in Cape Town, the idea of towing icebergs, from 50th parallel south, has resurfaced.
2100: Only one third of the world’s glaciers remain
If we continue as before and fail to limit global warming to 1.5°C, most glaciers will have disappeared by the end of the century.
Orange instead of crystal clear – waterways in Arctic Alaska
Climate change may be responsible for turning streams and rivers in Alaska’s Arctic orange.
Ice ages occurred much more frequently in Antarctica
Ice ages in Antarctica occurred not only every 100,000 years, but at much shorter intervals, according to recent research.
Not much known about pollinators in the Arctic
A new report describes the climatic changes in the Arctic and the effects on animals and plants. However, there are large knowledge gaps about insects.
Greenland’s ice streams are relatively short-lived
An AWI research team discovered that ice streams from Greenland’s ice sheet can reconfigure within a few thousand years.
Warmest autumn measured on the Greenland Ice Sheet
In Greenland, temperatures in autumn were well above average at most measuring stations and even in the middle of the ice sheet up to 9.5°C above.
Study shows why the Russian Arctic is burning
A study shows that fires in the Russian Arctic and Siberia are due to changes in the Arctic climate.
More heat in the Arctic leads to more snow in northern Europe
The warming of the Arctic Ocean has led to more moisture and therefore more snow in northern Europe, a Japanese study shows.
More whales in southeast Greenland spell doom for the region
A study shows that more frequent sightings of new whale species in southeast Greenland have likely tilted the state of the marine ecosystem.
Permafrost soils emit more greenhouse gases
The amount of greenhouse gases emitted from the permafrost soils of the Arctic could, in a worst-case scenario, be higher than the amount emitted by the United States in 150 years.
Alaska has cancelled its snow-crab season
Perhaps 90% of the snow crabs in the Bering Sea have disappeared without a trace
Antarctic ice sheet flows faster in summer
Contrary to previous assumptions, Antarctic ice sheet movements are also subject to seasonal variations, as are Arctic and alpine land ice masses.
Glass beads cannot save Arctic sea ice
Geoengineering, for some, is the solution to mitigating climate change. However, micro glass spheres on Arctic sea ice do not help.
Melting sea ice leads to acidic Arctic Ocean
The more sea ice disappears in the Arctic, the higher is the acidification of the ocean there, shows a study by an international research team.
Extreme rainfall in Svalbard caused by sea ice loss off Greenland
Sea ice off the East coast of Greenland prevents moist air from the South from reaching western Spitsbergen. But due to climate change, this barrier is lacking more often.
Arctic lakes have two ways of emitting carbon dioxide
One of them is more troubling than the other
Alaska dinosaur fossils hint at a wetter, wilder future
Pre-historic Alaska appears to have experienced seasonal floods capable of overwhelming a grown dinosaur
Canada counts its Arctic seaweed before it changes
Global warming won’t mean the end of algae in Canada’s Arctic, but it will change the species found there
Thwaites glacier is a growing concern
A new study suggests that the glacier could retreat even faster in the future, with massive consequences for global sea levels.
Less sea ice — no more driftwood in Iceland?
Driftwood in the Arctic appears to be another victim of climate change. By 2060, sea ice could be gone and with it the means of transport for driftwood.
Arctic whales pushed north by climate change
Dwindling sea ice and rising ocean temperatures are depriving Arctic whale species of habitat and displacing them further north.
