Using satellite imagery and drone imagery, researchers can develop a program that automatically detects seals on satellite images and counts them.
Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are such a vast and remote area that it is difficult for scientists to obtain accurate real-time data over a wide area and from a wide variety of corners. Therefore, research teams sometimes have to take unusual paths to obtain such valuable data. Groups from ETH Zurich and the Universities […]
An Arctic freshwater lake between glacial ice and seawater hosts a unique community of organisms – but for how much longer? Climate change threatens the lake.
One of America’s leading sources of science funding is putting artists and teachers where the sun doesn’t shine (for half of the year)
Cuba is not exactly known for doing polar research. In the meantime, it has been over 40 years since the first Cubans set foot in Antarctica.
The U.S. Antarctic Program is in need of a new research vessel and is now waiting for the green light for the funding of the project.
Global warming won’t mean the end of algae in Canada’s Arctic, but it will change the species found there

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.
Dwindling sea ice and rising ocean temperatures are depriving Arctic whale species of habitat and displacing them further north.
Weddell seals and certain Antarctic fish have developed unique genetic adaptations that allow them to live in the cold of Antarctica.
