ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEHybrid polar-grizzly bears are spreading all over the Arctic as starving polar bears are pushed to mate with grizzly bears that have reached the region as its temperatures grow warmer.
A geologist revealed that if polar ice caps keep melting, days on Earth could be longer than 24 hours and that's because Earth will eventually spin slower, leading to increased sea levels at its axis.
Climate change is rapidly changing the Arctic region. As the snow is melting, it creates a new ecosystem different from what it was known as decades ago.
The recent episode of "Climate Now" showed a closer look at melting ice and rising sea levels to understand further the real occurrence as the poles of the earth warms.
The ozone layer has grown thinner due to human activity and global warming. Despite the ozone holes' large measurement over the Antarctic and Arctic, experts believe the ozone layer will fully recover in a few decades.
A recent study of tree rings from Norilsk in the Russian Arctic and east of the Yenisei River, the largest of its kind to date, strongly suggests that man-made pollution is a lot worse than previously thought.
The 'zombie' wildfires, not directly caused by human activity, in the Arctic have been the largest fires recorded over the last 17 years. The amount of carbon and methane emitted by these large fires are record-breaking and take several months to contain.
Environmentalists assessed the damage of Russia's most disastrous oil spill last week, concluding that the clean-up may take five to ten years, costing nearly $2 Billion.
Usually, wildfires occur in the Arctic in July and August because of lightning strikes. Still, due to the unusually hot and dry season in June 2019, the fire season had started earlier. What causes the zombie fires in the Arctic? Should we worry?
The results of the analysis will finally be able to help researchers quantify how much the interactions between currents, climate, and sea ice changed throughout the last two decades.
Craters that were caused by methane blowout still leaking methane until now. Hundreds of 12,000-year-old craters were discovered in the Arctic sea floor by scientists.
