World of Change: Arctic Sea Ice - NASA Earth Observatory
Since 1978, satellites have monitored sea ice growth and retreat, and they have detected an overall decline in Arctic sea ice. The rate of decline has steepened ...
Climate Change: Arctic sea ice summer minimum
The amount of sea ice that survives the Arctic summer has declined by 13 percent per decade since the start of the 43-year satellite record.
Climate Change Indicators: Arctic Sea Ice | US EPA
A loss of older ice suggests that the Arctic ice cover is becoming thinner. Evidence also suggests that the melt season has become longer; the ...
Sea Ice Today | National Snow and Ice Data Center
The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet, and as a result, sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is decreasing. Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects ...
How does sea ice affect global climate? - National Ocean Service
Even a small increase in temperature can lead to greater warming over time, making the polar regions the most sensitive areas to climate change ...
Annual Arctic Sea Ice Minimum Area 1979-2022, With Graph
Satellites have provided a reliable tool for continuously monitoring changes in the Arctic ice since 1979. Every summer, the Arctic ice cap ...
The seasonal cycle of the Antarctic sea ice extent is shifted by about six months compared to that of the Arctic, with the annual minimum in ...
New Perspectives on the Enigma of Expanding Antarctic Sea Ice - Eos
The extent of Antarctic sea ice varies greatly from year to year, but 40 years of satellite records show a long-term trend. Although some ...
Arctic Sea Ice Extent | GlobalChange.gov
The loss of ice increases the risk of erosion along coastlines and changes the presence of marine species in certain areas, affecting commercial fish stocks and ...
Prolonging the Health of Arctic Sea Ice - Ocean Visions
Global climate models estimate that the complete loss of summer sea ice will cause additional warming in the Arctic of >1.5°C and 0.19°C13 averaged across the ...
Six ways loss of Arctic ice impacts everyone | Pages | WWF
Polar ice caps are melting as global warming causes climate change. We lose Arctic sea ice at a rate of almost 13% per decade, and over the past 30 years, the ...
Why Sea Ice Matters | National Snow and Ice Data Center
Changes in the amount of sea ice can disrupt ocean circulation, thereby leading to changes in global climate. Sea ice and wildlife. Sea ice provides a resting ...
Arctic sea ice decline - Wikipedia
Sea ice in the Arctic region has declined in recent decades in area and volume due to climate change. It has been melting more in summer than it refreezes ...
An Updated Assessment of the Changing Arctic Sea Ice Cover
The Arctic sea ice is showing a consistent response to warming across the myriad observations: decreases in concentration and extent, a younger ...

How much has Arctic ice declined, and how does that compare to ...
Over the last 40 years, annual Arctic sea ice measurements show ice shrinking by 12.6 percent each decade, a pace of decline that's unmatched by ...
12. Why is Arctic sea ice decreasing while Antarctic sea ice is not?
Sea ice in the Antarctic showed a slight increase in overall extent from 1979 to 2014, although some areas, such as that to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula ...
Both land and sea ice cover in the Arctic have decreased since the late 1970s and the trend is expected to increase in the future due to a changing climate.
Changing Sea Ice - Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition
Antarctic sea ice is in decline, with scientists reporting large areas of unusually low sea ice cover around Antarctica since November 2021.
