Understanding sea ice loss requires expensive and difficult expeditions. Scientists have developed a new model that predicts the growth of small ponds on sea ice more efficiently.
Traditional ecological knowledge involves an interaction between cultural practice, cultural belief and adaptive capacity to deal with climate impacts.

It is not the case that all extreme weather events are being made stronger or more frequent.
Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than anywhere else in the world. Water and sewer pipes in Iqaluit, Nunavut, are cracking during the winter as the ground shifts.

New research finds that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances have boosted the effects of climate change in the Arctic.
Without a radical change of course on climate change, Australians will struggle to survive on this continent, let alone thrive.

For decades Australian scientists have, clearly and respectfully, warned about the risks to Australia of a rapidly heating climate. After this season’s fires, perhaps it’s time to listen.
There’s more than one way to frame the science of climate change.

To help humanity change its carbon course, we climate scientists must shed conservatism, refocus our research, and rethink what level of existential risk we’re willing to offer world leaders.
