Arctic cyclones could be missing link in sea ice depletion models
A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice ...
Arctic Cyclones: Scientists May Have Just Found the Missing Piece in Arctic Ice Decline
Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause ...

The Arctic: climate change’s great economic opportunity
For bears of both the market and polar kind, a planet without an ice cap is a tragedy. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the world at large, causing ice to shrink by an area the size of ...
OU scientist finds Arctic storms are the hidden force melting polar ice
Giant cyclones of snow and ice are breaking up thin ice in the Arctic, leading to rapid ice loss events, and it’s happening more now than ever before. A scientist at OU described an unusually powerful ...

'Last Ice Area' in the Arctic could disappear much sooner than previously thought
The Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA)—a vital habitat for ice-dependent species—might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to ...

Unraveling the connection between Canadian wildfires and Arctic ice clouds
Ice nucleating particles as a kind of aerosols have a significant impact on the Arctic climate by promoting the formation of ice clouds at a temperature above -- 38 degrees Celsius. Wildfires in ...
