Environmental engineer Gil Bohrer discusses how long-term, large-scale tracking data can shed light on the unexpected ways animals are responding to changes in the Arctic.

Knock-on effects of melting sea ice in the Arctic may be to blame for a spate of gray whale deaths along their migration route from Mexico to Alaska.

For the past two years, the charismatic marine mammals have washed up on Pacific shores in record numbers. Scientists investigating the strandings suspect warming waters and melting sea ice are partly to blame.

The discovery puts a nail in the coffin of a long-held assumption about the limits of where the essential process can occur.

The possibly record-breaking temps follow the warmest winter on record in the region.

Chlorofluorocarbons and other substances were banned in 1989 under the Montreal Protocol.

A group of scientists in northern Norway are using the technique to measure biodiversity’s response to past and present climate change.

The funding future is uncertain for researchers studying topics including cancer, stem cells, and the Arctic.

Nest predation of shorebirds that raise young in the Arctic are up threefold since the mid-20th century, and climate change may be to blame, according to a study.

If left unchecked, greenhouse gas emissions will drive ocean temperatures up, affecting wildlife in these regions.

A group of around 300 whales produced 184 distinct songs over just a few years, according to a new study.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researcher’s work will help predict how the Arctic is responding to climate change—and the global effects of those changes.

S. Allen Counter pursued scientific questions within various cultures throughout the world.

Phytoplankton in the Arctic Ocean could amplify warming near the North Pole.

Touch, The Altruistic Brain, Is Shame Necessary?, and Future Arctic

UV light-emitting power lines may spook reindeer and other animals, a study finds.

Researchers are using snowdrifts to artificially warm Arctic tundra during winter and finding that more carbon is released from the soil than plants can soak up from the atmosphere.

Without major investment, the federal oceanographic fleet will shrink to a third of its current size over the next 20 years.

Researchers discover a microbe living at -15°C, the coldest temperature ever reported for bacterial growth, giving hope to the search for life elsewhere in the cosmos.
