ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEThe Negribreen Glacier was witnessed by ESA's satellites to be surging in a rapid speed. Researchers were surprised as the Arctic Negribreen glacier was discovered to be moving thirteen times faster than before.
Climate change seems to impact animal life in the Arctic through affecting its winds. Climate change is abundant in today’s generation. However, some just don't know that Arctic’s winds are also affected.
According to a new research, the eastern part of the Arctic Ocean gains temperature and loses its fundamental characters and experiencing “Atlantification”.
This year's maximum extent at the Arctic reached on March 7 at 14.42 million square kilometres and is 97,000 square kilometres below the previous record low.
Arctic again hits a low level of sea ice. Scientists blame the man-made global warming. Global warming is hitting the Earth badly. Recently, scientists have found that the frigid top of the Earth has a new record for the low level of sea ice.
A new scientific report has stated that oxygen levels have decreased In oceans, specifically Pacific and Arctic. It has largely affected the aquatic organisms.
Scientists are proposing a $500 billion plan to refreeze the Arctic region. Ice in the arctic is rapidly decreasing as global warming is at its alarming rate.
It’s the start to the spring today, and with the vernal equinox came a celestial event unlike those in common occurrence. But while flocks of sky-watchers and astronomers ventured north into the Arctic, where a total solar eclipse would be visible for the last time until 2026 in continental Europe, many were left disappointed at the less than “thrilling” display.
A rather rare occurrence, happening once every year or two, a total eclipse of the sun is a pretty big deal in the sky-watching community. Not only is it special because the sun’s disk entirely covered by the moon, but also because it’s a cosmic occurrence right in our back yard. But for those not living in the Arctic or on the Faroe Islands archipelago between Norway and Iceland, tonights events may be a little hard to see.
Think of star-gazing and astronomy as a particularly safe hobby? Think again. It turns out that while looking at the cosmos, hundreds of thousands of light-years away, local astronomers may be too preoccupied to realize the threats much closer to home.
While much of the northeastern and central United States froze to death this snowy winter, the cold chill didn't extend to the north as scientists have discovered that the winter ice levels are at record lows.
Scientists have discovered that Arctic sea ice, the ice that freezes and floats on waters in the Arctic, is thinning at much faster rate that they previously thought.
While many factors play into the development of a viral or bacterial outbreak, including herd immunity and preexisting healthcare practices, current outbreaks of the Ebola virus and the measles have many wondering exactly what’s causing the reemergence of such lethal diseases. Well, the obvious answers of vaccinations and poor sanitation conditions are readily available, but many may not consider an even more significant culprit—climate change.
