Seals Strategically Scoot Around the Seas on Icebergs
New study shows seal moms prefer slow and steady icebergs, while seals prefer faster ice in better foraging grounds later in the year.
Arctic Tundra Becoming Source of Carbon Dioxide Emissions
After storing carbon dioxide in frozen soil for millennia, the Arctic tundra is being transformed by frequent wildfires into an overall source of carbon to the atmosphere, which is already absorbing record levels of heat-trapping fossil fuel pollution.
Tourism Leads the Pack in Growing Carbon Emissions
A University of Queensland-led study shows greenhouse gas emissions from tourism have been growing more than 2 times faster than those from the rest of the global economy.
