New research adds to an emerging picture of the changes that global warming and thinning ice are wreaking on the marine ecosystems at the top of the world.
Scenes from a research trip, where researchers peered beneath the ice to shine a light on the emerging picture of a changing Arctic Ocean
Meet the research team that uncovered an algal bloom churning in freezing Arctic waters.
Scientists studying the Arctic Ocean aboard a US Coast Guard icebreaker discover one of the largest phytoplankton blooms ever recorded—beneath sea ice.
A new assessment reveals that the Arctic’s environment is rapidly deteriorating, threatening species and global weather patterns.
The sea ice in the Arctic is expected to hit a record low by the end of the month.
A polar bear researcher is being investigated for opposing oil and gas industry research initiative in the Arctic, while supporting a similar proposal from NOAA.
Algal blooms are appearing under the ice in the Arctic Ocean in areas thought to receive too little light to support photosynthetic life.
A genetic analysis reveals that the polar bear split from the brown bear some 600,000 years ago.
