Now part of Halfar’s research group studying changes in sea ice cover in northern Labrador, Dias and her co-researchers are ...

The glacier ice algae Ancylonema alaskanum and Ancylonema nordenskiöldii grow in harsh dynamic environments on bare ice surfaces. In these environments, they contribute to the continuous darkening of ...

Minoli Dias's interest in sea ice began in an unlikely place: polar bear poop.She was studying microplastics in polar bear feces and intestinal tracts ...

On September 19, Antarctic sea ice likely reached its annual maximum extent of 17.16 million square kilometers (6.63 million square miles). The 2024 maximum is the second lowest in the 46-year ...

The Antarctic winter sea ice maximum is on track to be the second lowest on record, at 17.15 million square km² (6.62 million mi²), close to the 2023 record low of 16.96 million km² (6.55 ...

On September 11, Arctic sea ice likely reached its annual minimum extent of 4.28 million square kilometers (1.65 million square miles). The 2024 minimum is the seventh lowest in the nearly 46-year ...

When the sea ice melts earlier it warms the overall water temperature and it changes algae that blooms, which changes the plankton that feed on the algae, which changes the fish, all the way up ...

A bold plan to pump seawater over the frozen Arctic Ocean could offer humanity a final chance to save the region’s vanishing sea ice. Field trials conducted this year in the Canadian Arctic to ...

Polar sea ice is ever-changing. It shrinks, expands, moves, breaks apart, reforms in response to changing seasons, and rapid climate change. It is far from a homogenous layer of frozen water on ...

So, what do we make of these green deserts and melting polar edges? These are not signs of nature healing but signals of a ...

Plants, trees, and soil absorbed almost no net CO2 last year. If this continues, we're in bigger trouble than we thought.
