An Arctic Elegy
What happens when the Bering Sea loses its ice?
Melted ice cubes create a playground for food germs. Gelatin ice cubes could be safer
Researchers tested how "jelly ice cubes" compare for food safety
This is how climate change is reshaping the entire planet
The ocean is acidifying, Western Europe will chill, crops will fail, and that's just the start
Polar bear numbers are rising in a once too-frigid Arctic basin
Thick Arctic ice is melting into conditions better suited to life. But the region's warming is trending towards trouble
Narwhal DNA captured a survival story the last time the glaciers melted
But their success in the past likely won't repeat itself now that ice is melting again
Faraway cities are sending their heat to the Arctic's ecosystem
Even in the remote high latitudes, a new satellite study sees rising temperatures and spreading green belts around cities
Scientists use GPS satellites to track Greenland ice sheet melting
Scientists could already measure soil moisture, wind velocities, snow depth with GPS satellites. Now they can also monitor melting ice.
When winter no longer comes, what will the North look like?
Less snow and cold could negatively impact maple sugaring, skiing, and other traditions
The key to unlocking a glacier's past is a chainsaw and some quantum mechanics
The layers that are so useful in dating the glaciers are disappearing because of climate change, so scientists are finding new ways to date glaciers
Netflix's Our Planet showed walruses in distress. We need to find what humanity's role is
Understanding walrus-human interactions in the past might shed some light on the "walrus scene"
