Science Daily: Arctic Ocean passed a tipping point and scientists say it may never recover

The Arctic Ocean may have crossed a dangerous tipping point. Scientists say the rapid disappearance of sea ice is triggering a hidden chemical shift that is stripping the ocean of nitrate — a nutrient ...

Arctic Ocean passed a tipping point and scientists say it may never recover

The Arctic Ocean is Earth's northernmost body of water. It encircles the Arctic, and flows beneath it. Most of the Arctic Ocean is covered by ice throughout the year—although that is starting to ...

Scientists define an ice-free Arctic, often called a Blue Ocean Event, as when sea ice area drops below one million square kilometres. Think of it like this: the Arctic Ocean, which has been capped ...

Los Angeles Times: Arctic ocean may absorb less CO2 than projected due to coastal erosion

As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research. A study published ...
