Scientists begin to fill a major data gap by investigating carbon dioxide dynamics in a remote region of the Arctic Ocean.
Arctic
High Arctic Emissions of a Strong Greenhouse Gas
Isotope data bring scientists one step closer to revealing the microbial processes behind nitrous oxide emission in the tundra.
Arctic Permafrost Thaw Would Amplify Climate Change
An international team probed Arctic permafrost samples to better understand the carbon feedback loop that could be set off by future thawing.
The Balance of Ice, Waves, and Winds in the Arctic Autumn
Although summer sea ice loss in the Arctic is well studied, less is known about how ice comes back in autumn. A new program is changing that.
Map Reveals Hot Spots for Arctic Greenhouse Gas Emissions
By bringing together data on permafrost stability, soils, and other Arctic conditions, scientists have plotted where permafrost is vulnerable to collapse, which could release long-stored carbon.
Scientists Spend Arctic Winter Adrift on Sea Ice
A hovercraft-based ice drift station gives researchers access to previously inaccessible regions of the changing Arctic sea ice cover off the coast of Greenland.
The Arctic Freshwater Synthesis
The result of international study and coordination, this Special Issue provides an important "state-of-the-science" review of changing systems and their potential impacts.
Aquatic Plants May Accelerate Arctic Methane Emissions
About two thirds of the gas produced by a study area near Barrow, Alaska, came from increasingly abundant greenery covering only 5% of the landscape, researchers estimate.
Communicating Arctic Science Creatively for Diverse Audiences
Revealing the New Arctic: A Climate Change Communication Workshop; San Francisco, California, 16 December 2015
Arctic Survey Hunts for Missing Nitrogen and Phosphorus
A new survey of ocean waters flowing in and out of the Arctic may shed light on how dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus contribute to nutrient cycling in the Arctic.
