A QUINTESSENTIAL image representing the Arctic is a polar bear majestically traversing the endless ice. Fluffy yet deadly, these massive carnivores are the top dogs in their natural habitat, having no ...

This story was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center’s Ocean Reporting Network. A “civil war” is brewing in polar science. As climate change rapidly melts Earth’s ice, sides are being drawn ...

A review of the five main methods proposed for cooling down the poles or slowing the loss of ice concludes they are all ...

"We show that this design can, in principle, find half of all existing Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars within 30 light-years in less than three years." ...

Researchers evaluated five geoengineering concepts proposed for Earth’s polar regions and found them to be “environmentally dangerous.” ...

Some scientists and engineers have proposed novel technological "fixes" to mitigate the impacts of climate change — including giant, floating sea curtains to prevent warm water reaching ice shelves.

The polar vortex is a broad, fast ribbon of cold air that encapsulates the Arctic high in the stratosphere. Stable, it confines cold air near the North Pole. Unstable, it is rocked and stretched out ...

A team of international scientists is urging caution against five of the most-discussed polar geoengineering ideas, stating they are highly unlikely to help the polar regions and could harm ecosystems ...

The dominos are finally starting to fall. Last week, more than two months after the start of free agency, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas bet on himself, taking the $6.6 million Qualifying Offer so ...

A team of the world’s best ice and climate researchers studied a handful of recently publicized engineering concepts for protecting Earth’s polar ice caps and found that none of them are likely to ...

As the evidence of anthropogenic impacts on nature accumulates, it is clear that many aspects of global change are particularly strong in polar regions. Both the Arctic and Antarctica have experienced ...

Medical City Plano’s $108 million expansion started last week. The project adds 131,700 square feet for intensive care unit beds – essentially doubling patient size for one of its towers. The ...
