Climate change is causing glaciers to shrink around the world. Reduced meltwaters from these glaciers also have downstream effects, particularly on freshwater availability. 

A three-week expedition off the coast of Costa Rica has just expanded our knowledge of deep sea ecosystems in the region. 

A new study on ice cores shows that reductions in sea ice in the Arctic in the period between 30-100,000 years ago led to major climate events. 

A NASA glaciologist has discovered a possible second impact crater buried under more than a mile of ice in northwest Greenland.

Water entering the oceans from melting ice sheets could cause extreme weather and a change in ocean circulation not currently accounted for in global climate policies, a new study published today finds.

Tropical Cyclone Neil had a short life in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean. It developed on February 9 and dissipated on February 10.

Communities in a remote Russian Arctic archipelago have been overrun by dozens of hungry polar bears, forced onshore by thinning sea ice and restricted access to food.

It took Hurricane Michael just 24 hours to intensify from a Category 1 storm to a Category 4 before slamming into Florida’s Gulf Coast last October.

Visible imagery from NASA’s Aqua satellite revealed the effects of wind shear on Tropical Cyclone Gelena in the Southern Indian Ocean. The storm weakened to a tropical storm.

The trucks and trains that transport goods across the United States emit gases and particles that threaten human health and the environment.
