In fact more than 1,000 measurements registered the highest dissolved methane concentrations ever seen in the summer Arctic Ocean. Methane is a greenhouse gas 20 times more powerful than carbon ...

Arctic rivers transport huge quantities of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the Arctic Ocean. The prevailing paradigm regarding DOC in arctic rivers is that it is largely refractory, making it of ...

A small, but not insignificant amount of this dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is "out-gassed" from the river water and into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas. What remains flows into the ocean ...

We found that thawing permafrost and intensifying storms will change how water moves into and through Arctic rivers. These changes will affect coastal regions, the Arctic Ocean and, potentially ...

In early spring, dissolved nitrate is the primary form of nitrogen on the Arctic surface, but phytoplankton consume it rapidly and then turn to recycled ammonium as their primary source later in ...

The Arctic Ocean is experiencing some of the world's most drastic warming from climate change. In recent years, scientists have measured dwindling ice cover as record high temperatures inch up and up.

The Arctic Ocean has always been a region that’s fascinated University of Delaware doctoral student Tianyu Zhou. While most of humanity lives in the world’s temperate zone, the polar ocean seems like ...

Summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean might be gone by the 2030s, no matter what we do to curb emissions of greenhouse gases, study says. Hotspots ranked Start the day smarter ☀️ Funniest cap ...

Instead, the U.S. and other Arctic coastal nations — Canada, Russia, Norway, Denmark/Greenland — should permanently and fully protect all waters of the Arctic Ocean outside their 12-mile ...

For comparison, recent years have seen the Arctic Ocean with a minimum sea ice cover in September of around 1,274,000 square miles, ... Greenhouse gas emissions are the main driver of sea ice loss.
