Abstract. Ice-marginal lakes are an increasingly common feature of glacierised landscapes, and their sudden drainage beneath glaciers (a jökulhlaup) can threaten downstream communities and infrastruct...

Abstract. The Arctic is at the forefront of global warming. More frequent and intense rain-on-snow events during winter are altering the annual snowpack with its environmental proxy records, so that S...

Over the last year, our lab has been developing a policy on AI use. To do this, we did three main things: We read a lot of academic publications and tech news. We set up an #ai channel on our la...

Glacier geoengineering can be effective at reducing melt at small, local scales, but has significant environmental, governance and financial costs

AI writing is impossible to avoid, is making everything sound the same, and is driving us crazy.

It is ear­ly June. The strong ear­ly sum­mer sun is mel­ting the last patches of snow; the tun­dra lies bare across a vast expan­se. Snow bun­tings are sin­ging, reinde­er are rejoi­cing at the onset ...

Why simple models keep winning, where deep learning still shines, and where the field is headed

Tales from the Poles Tales from the Poles is a collaborative storytelling project organized by APECS Netherlands and the UK Polar Network. Its aim is to bring together diverse voices connected to th...

Conservation has traditionally ignored the planet’s smallest life forms. Microbiologists are trying to change that — before it’s too late.

A debating society didn’t want to invite two figures connected to the party to speak. Cue an authoritarian response, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Long-term climate data suggest that the Arctic is entering a new era of bioclimatic extremes threatening cold ecosystems.

Scientists think that Svalbard bears have adapted to recent ice loss by eating more land-based prey.

An enduring question in ecology is how new ecosystems form. Studying retreating glaciers, this study shows that life’s first foothold in these new environments is not established by photosynthetic org...
