The image is surreal: a frozen lake, a scientist kneeling on the ice, and then a sheet of flame racing across the surface as ...

The science teepee followed us at all ten lakes, some of which we visited on multiple occasions in 2021 and 2022 (summer and winter). This was where all the methane subsampling happened. Here it ...

While methane emissions are often associated with human activity, scientists discovered an unexpected but significant natural source of these planet-warming gases. As explained by Earth.com, a recent ...

The Arctic is predicted to warm faster than anywhere else in the world this century, perhaps by as much as 7°C. These rising temperatures threaten one of the largest long-term stores of carbon on land ...

In the frigid depths of the Greenland Sea, nearly 12,000 feet beneath Arctic ice, scientists uncovered an extraordinary world ...

They’ve been called “bubble chasers,” and “seep seekers,” though they sometimes call themselves “flare hunters.” They’re a ...

Far north in the Fram Strait, scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, working with colleagues including the University of Southampton in the U.K., have identified the deepest known gas ...

In a new study in the journal Ecological Monographs, ecologists estimate that Arctic lands and oceans are responsible for up to 25 percent of the global net sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Under ...

Authors: Twila A. Moon, University of Colorado Boulder; Matthew L. Druckenmiller, University of Colorado Boulder, and Rick Thoman, University of Alaska Fairbanks The Arctic can feel like a far-off ...

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 ...
