The locations of humpback whale catches in the early 20th century indicate that most climate models overestimate the historic ...

Alligator Gars have diamond-shaped armor scales and can breathe air when oxygen is low. These living fossils date back 100 million years.

Spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry method has been increasingly utilized for sea ice parameters retrieval. The coupling effects between wind speed and retrieval parameters was ...

Antarctic sea ice began to change rapidly in 2015 and 2016. Since then it has remained well below the long-term average.

Old Antarctic photos help University of Copenhagen scientists trace ice shelf collapse and predict future sea level rise.

We present a methodology to derive sea ice type classification maps in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean for the autumn through spring seasons, from 1991 to present. We use datasets from four ...

New images from the European Space Agency’s Biomass mission show how the satellite uses advanced radar to map flows of carbon ...

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-up to three large-scale iceberg "calving" events in Antarctica ...

Antarctic sea ice is more than just a platform for penguins. The sea ice's high reflectivity influences the whole Earth's climate, and the ice is a key habitat for underwater as well as above ...

Using observations and modeling, the authors find a host of effects of ultra-low ice years, including warming of the Southern Ocean, increased ice-shelf calving, and stronger phytoplankton blooms ...
