For most of their evolutionary history, narwhals have relied more on sound than sight to survive in the Arctic’s dark icy ...

Dalhousie researchers have revealed how Arctic aquifers—permeable layers of the ground that store and transmit water to rivers, lakes and terrestrial ecosystems—behave today and how these vital ...

The impacts extend far beyond the Arctic region. Scientists issue warning after making grim Arctic discovery — here's what ...

The correlation between Arctic wildfires and abnormal snow cover under global warming is of growing concern. A comprehensive ...

In a remote corner of Northern Norway, inside a dark coastal cave sealed off for millennia, scientists have opened a rare time capsule of life from 75,000 years ago. The bones and DNA traces of dozens ...

A new study led by Jochen Knies from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of Arctic fjords to serve as effective carbon sinks. The ...

The findings are important because methane is over 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Arctic lakes are already major natural methane sources globally, but the processes ...
