At the edge of the Arctic in northern Canada, the annual migration of polar bears draws tourists, photographers, and ...

for organisms that depend on ice. “For people concerned about habitats, it’s not that you will sometimes have the summer ice off the coast of Siberia and sometimes have the ice in the Beaufort ...

As Arctic temperatures rise, sea ice — the primary habitat for these majestic creatures — is melting at an alarming rate. Polar bears rely on sea ice for hunting seals, their main food source.

Those decades of data are now helping scientists gauge the effects of anthropogenic climate change on the penguins, their sea ice habitat and their food sources. The penguins breed on fast ice ...

Two-thirds of the world's polar bears could be extinct by 2050 if greenhouse gas-fueled global warming keeps melting their Arctic sea-ice habitat. The Center has led the charge to save polar bears ...

Their survival, however, is challenged by factors like climate change, which is affecting their sea ice habitat. There are two subspecies of walrus – the Atlantic and the Pacific. The Atlantic lives ...

The scientists note that Arctic warming driven by climate change is reducing the walrus’ sea ice habitat and presenting a dire threat to the survival of the species. “It’s long past time for the ...

Polar habitats are often cold, windy and covered in frozen snow and ice. At the top of the Earth is the North Pole, and at the bottom of the Earth is the South Pole. We are here. But have you ever ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 59, No. 1 (2014), pp. 17-36 (20 pages) Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) were sampled in contrasting habitats: a seasonally ice-covered deep ocean (Lazarev Sea), ice ...

However, scientists say that this strategy won’t work if sea ice habitat across an entire region is affected. Emperor penguin populations have never been subject to large scale hunting ...
