Deep Arctic Ocean waters still flowed during last ice age
By Andrea ThompsonLiveScienceEven during the deep freeze of the last ice age, the waters of the deep Arctic Ocean churned below the frozen ice cap, new research finds.Scientists thought that these waters slowed or even stopped during this time, but analysis of sediment from the bottom of the ocean shows that these waters have been churning for the past 35,000 years under wildly different ...(5/31/2013 2:37:22 PM) |

Arctic Ocean Rapidly Acidifying
After three years of ongoing research by an international team of scientists, a study commissioned by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme for a first-ever comprehensive assessment of Arctic Ocean acidification was presented last week at a meeting of Arctic Council Ministers in Bergen, Norway. The research show that the cold waters of the Arctic sea are more vulnerable to acidification ...(5/22/2013 8:57:39 AM) |

Arctic current flowed under deep freeze of last ice age, study says
During the last ice age, when thick ice covered the Arctic, many scientists assumed that the deep currents below that feed the North Atlantic Ocean and help drive global ocean currents slowed or even stopped. But in a researchers have now shown that the deep Arctic Ocean has been churning briskly for the last 35,000 years, through the chill of the last ice age and warmth of modern times.(5/29/2013 2:16:16 PM) |

Arctic sea ice melt disrupts weather patterns
By Becky OskinLiveScience Shrinking Arctic sea ice is shifting polar weather patterns, especially in fall and winter, a new climate modeling study finds.For the study, researchers looked at weather patterns in 2007, when sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean hit one of its lowest summer extents since satellite tracking began in the late 1970s.In fall and winter, when sea ice would normally insulate ...(5/30/2013 2:53:34 PM) |

Deep Freeze Couldn't Keep The Arctic Current From Flowing During The Last Ice Age
April Flowers for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online When thick ice covered the Arctic during the last ice age, many scientists assumed that the deep currents below the ice that feed the North Atlantic Ocean and help drive the global ocean currents slowed or possibly even stopped. A new study reveals that the deep Arctic Ocean has been churning briskly for the last 35,000 years, through the ...(5/30/2013 7:18:40 AM) |
