The Deepest Gas Hydrate Cold Seep Ever Discovered In The Arctic
A multinational scientific team led by UiT has uncovered the deepest known gas hydrate cold seep on the planet. The discovery was made during the Ocean Census Arctic Deep – EXTREME24 expedition […]
Water Planet: More Polar Ocean Turbulence Due To Planetary Warming
A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change by an international team of scientists, from the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea, […]
Cytoplasmic Fluidity And The Cold Life: Proteome Stability Is Decoupled From Viability In Psychrophiles
Protein diffusion, critical for cellular metabolism, occurs in the highly crowded cytoplasm. Understanding how this dynamics changes when organisms are adapted to different thermal niches is a fundamental challenge in […]
International Research Team Discovers A Potential Source Of Abiotic Methane In The Arctic Ocean
An international team of scientists and students, led by the Arctic University of Norway, and including chemists and engineers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), has announced a remarkable discovery […]
Space Dust Reveals Arctic Ice Conditions Before Satellite Imaging
Arctic sea ice has declined by more than 42% since 1979, when regular satellite monitoring began. As the ice grows thinner and recedes, more water is exposed to sunlight.
Ice Planet Research: More Polar Ocean Turbulence Due To Planetary Warming
A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change by an international team of scientists, from the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea, […]
Replacement Found For The Lost Underwater Vehicle Ran
The deal is done for the new underwater vehicle that will replace Ran, the submarine that was lost under a glacier in Antarctica in 2024. A large donation means that […]
Ice Gliding Diatoms Establish Record-low Temperature Limits For Motility In A Eukaryotic Cell
In the harsh Arctic environments, ice-dwelling diatoms remarkably survive and thrive, but their behavioral adaptations are poorly understood.
Intact Polar Lipids As Organic Biomarkers Of Viable Extraterrestrial Life
The detection of viable life is a key objective for both in situ astrobiological experiments on extraterrestrial bodies, and for planetary protection protocols on Earth following sample return.
