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 ...

Evidence of global warming is most dramatic in the polar regions, where melting permafrost threatens polar bears and emperor penguins with extinction. Near the Arctic Circle, researchers are finding ...

Gabrielle Kleber and Leonard Magerl, postdoctoral researchers at iC3, have discovered that Arctic glaciers are leaking ...

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 ...

Warming causes melting in the active layer, which expands deeper into the permafrost. Meltwater then enters the salty cryopeg through osmosis, causing the expansion of the cryopeg, which cracks the ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A new study conducted by geologists from the University of Florida and the University of Maryland reveals that, as land is exposed by melting glaciers, chemical reactions in the newly uncovered ...

Gabrielle Kleber and Leonard Magerl, postdoctoral researchers at iC3, have discovered that Arctic glaciers are leaking significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. They found that glacial ...
