In the Arctic, the weather plays a key role in determining how much ice covers the ocean. One weather phenomenon that has a significant influence on this is Arctic cyclones: they cause unusually warm and stormy conditions, which typically lead to a significant loss of ice. These conditions last for a particularly long time when several cyclones rapidly follow one another. An international research team led by the Alfred Wegener Institute has now, for the first time, systematically investigated the effects of these accumulating cyclones, using weather data from recent decades. In the journal Nature Communications, they have described this ‘cyclone clustering’ and its specific consequences for the future of sea ice and, by extension, the Arctic coastline.

Archaeologists have uncovered two exquisitely carved bird figurines dating back 40,000 years, each no bigger than a human thumbnail.
Permafrost in the Arctic stores large quantities of organic carbon. When the frozen ground thaws or coastal sections erode, this carbon can enter the sea, where microorganisms can break it down and convert it into climate-damaging greenhouse gases. The extent to which this carbon actually enters the atmosphere, however, and how much remains in the ocean has hardly been quantified to date. Researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute and MARUM – Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen have now been able to answer this question for the first time for the permafrost coast of Qikiqtaruk (Herschel Island) in Canada. With the help of sediment cores, they discovered that considerable amounts of terrestrial carbon are stored in the seabed. It also became apparent that...

Open access notables Record-low 2025 and 2026 ice extents restore Arctic winter sea-ice decline , Chan et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Recent analyses have suggested that the decadal rate of Arctic winter sea-ice extent decline weakened in the early 2020s, with 20-y trends becoming statistically insignificant. Here we show from more up-to-date observations that the exceptionally low 2025 and 2026 ice extent winters reversed this picture, with sea-ice extent during the growth and peak phases returning to record lows and 20-y decline trends becoming significant again. Further analysis of CMIP6 model analogues shows that the observed 2025 decline was unusual but physically plausible under comparable Arctic warming, and is more consistent with...
Crushed volcanic rock spread on farms accelerates natural carbon capture processes. This method converts atmospheric carbon dioxide into stable bicarbonate ions for storage. Basalt also releases essential nutrients, improving soil health and crop yields. Field experiments show potential for significant carbon removal alongside agricultural benefits. Ongoing research aims to verify effectiveness and integrate farms into carbon removal strategies.
