Coastal Restoration

Wildfires blazed along the Arctic Circle this summer, incinerating tundra, blanketing Siberian cities in smoke and capping the second extraordinary fire season in a row. By the time the fire season…

Researchers discovered the bacteria deep below the seafloor, in a place with no oxygen and without an apparent host organism.

Shoyna, a fishing village in the frigid far north, is slowly vanishing under dunes that engulf entire houses. For children, home is now a giant sandbox. Adults have to “say goodbye to my high heels.”

When the wind blows in from the vast oil operations, noses run and asthma flares up. Concerns about respiratory illness have risen as North Slope drilling spreads.

The northern Barents Sea has warmed rapidly in recent decades. Hydrographic observations suggest increases in ocean temperature—particularly after the mid-2000s—can be linked to reduced sea-ice import, freshwater loss, weakened stratification and increased upward heat fluxes from the deep Atlantic layer.

Lack of sea ice is making it more difficult for polar bears to find food.

Today's narrow House approval of the Senate's fiscal year 2018 budget plan paves the way for subsequent legislation to allow oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) that's immune from Senate filibuster.Why it matters: Republicans who have unified control of Washington ar

The Barents Observer keeps a close watch on the Russian Arctic because it’s part of the neighborhood, and because there’s a lot at stake there, for Russians and the rest of us.

The North Icelandic Jet is a ribbon of cold water deep below the surface of the North Atlantic and a key part of the global ocean circulatory system — but it's barely understood by scientists.

The unique, blue color of glacier ice is entrancing. And, it might be the only example in nature where color comes from vibrations. Watch!

The pace and quality of oil spill research in the United States typically ebbs and flows as a function of two, if not three important variables.

Every five years, the US determines where oil and gas companies can purchase leases for offshore drilling. The most recent plan excluded the Arctic, but the Trump administration wants to change that.
