A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. "The dramatic changes in the Arctic warrant ...

The research, called Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface Interaction Experiment (ARCSIX), measures how aerosols interact with sea ice. One of the mission leaders spoke to WBZ-TV about why this ...

When your shadow is longer than you are, the sun angle is low. The lower the sun, the more its energy gets spread out over a ...

As glaciers and ice sheets retreat, they are exposing objects, organisms, and landscapes that have been locked away for centuries or even millennia. Those revelations are reshaping how I understand ...

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

As glaciers melt around the globe, scientists are racing to retrieve ice cores that contain key historical records of temperature and climate that are preserved in the ice. Researchers are also ...
