Trio of heatwaves added month to Greenland melt season
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.
Since the 2018 drought in Cape Town, the idea of towing icebergs, from 50th parallel south, has resurfaced.
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.
Climate change may be responsible for turning streams and rivers in Alaska’s Arctic orange.
Ice ages in Antarctica occurred not only every 100,000 years, but at much shorter intervals, according to recent research.
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.
An AWI research team discovered that ice streams from Greenland’s ice sheet can reconfigure within a few thousand years.
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.
