Far north in the Fram Strait, scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, working with colleagues including the ...

A multinational scientific team led by UiT has uncovered the deepest known gas hydrate cold seep on the planet. The discovery ...

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 ...

Deep beneath the Arctic permafrost and ocean sediments, a massive reservoir of methane, often referred to as a “time bomb,” poses a significant threat to our climate. This potential for rapid release ...

The UK Guardian and dozens of additional media outlets are hyping a claim this week rapidly receding Arctic sea ice will trigger a methane-release catastrophe within just a few years. While the media ...

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 ...

The amount of methane gas escaping from the ground during the long cold period in the Arctic each year and entering Earth’s atmosphere is likely much higher than estimated by current carbon cycle ...

The arctic could potentially alter the Earth’s climate by becoming a possible source of global atmospheric carbon dioxide. The arctic now traps or absorbs up to 25 percent of this gas but climate ...

A string of ‘gates over the past few months — Climategate, Himalayagate, among others — have landed some hard punches on the politics of climate change science. They haven’t laid a glove on the ...
