Ozone layer depletion
Due to the ozone hole, all living organisms are harmed by solar radiation. It also leads to various health problems starting from skin diseases …
No glacial fertilization effect in the Antarctic Ocean
Can iron-rich dust fertilize the ocean, stimulate algae growth there, and thereby capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? An international research team used deep-sea …
Ice shards in Antarctic clouds let more solar energy reach Earth’s surface
Clouds come in myriad shapes, sizes and types, which control their effects on climate. New research shows that splintering of frozen liquid -- DROP …
New link between greenhouse gasses and sea level rise
Researchers have used advanced ocean modelling techniques to reveal how greenhouse gas emissions contribute to warmer oceans and resulting melting of the West Antarctic …
Simulations explain Greenland’s slower summer warming
Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland.
The global 'plastic flood' reaches the Arctic
Even the High North can't escape the global threat of plastic pollution. An international review study shows, the flood of plastic has reached all …
Estimates of the carbon cycle - vital to predicting climate change - are incorrect, new researchers show
Researchers have discovered that key parts of the global carbon cycle used to track movement of carbon dioxide in the environment are not correct, …
Meltwater drainage, break-away icebergs linked at shrinking Helheim Glacier
Dark patches of open sea that appear in the ice-choked water around Helheim Glacier may reveal new clues about how a rapidly changing Greenland …
New estimation strategy improves soil carbon sampling in agricultural fields
Researchers have evaluated strategies for efficiently estimating soil organic carbon in agricultural fields. Quantifying soil organic carbon stocks in agricultural fields is essential for …
Solar energy explains fast yearly retreat of Antarctica's sea ice
Sea ice around Antarctica retreats more quickly than it advances, an asymmetry that has been a puzzle. New analysis shows that the Southern Hemisphere …
Rapid glacial advance reconstructed during the time of Norse occupation in Greenland
The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second largest ice body in the world, and it has the potential to contribute significantly to global sea-level …
Wildfires devastate the land they burn, and they are also warming the planet
The 2021 wildfire season broke records globally, leaving land charred from California to Siberia. The risk of fire is growing, and a recent report …
