In new research, scientists report signs of a past methane cycle shift during the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum, a rapid ...

The Arctic Ocean was once an important source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere — and it could become one again, ...

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 ...

The Arctic is warming faster than many other parts of the planet. This warming is not only melting ice and snow—it’s also affecting thousands of lakes spread across the Arctic region. These lakes are ...

The Climate Shift Index (CSI), Climate Central’s daily temperature attribution system, applies the latest peer-reviewed methodology to map the influence of climate change on temperatures across the ...

WASHINGTON — Global warming gases trapped in the soil are bubbling out of the thawing permafrost in amounts far higher than previously thought and may trigger what researchers warn is a climate time ...

The Arctic island of Svalbard is so reliably frigid that humanity bet its future on the place. Since 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault — set deep in frozen soil known as permafrost — has accepted ...

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 ...
