Dramatic changes in Antarctica’s ice have become synonymous with the climate crisis. The continued observations from satellites are key to surveying the remote polar regions. Satellites can...

This year there was a drastic drop in sea ice on a global scale caused by a combination of the now usual major melting during the northern hemisphere spring in the Arctic...

New research, based largely on information from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 and ESA’s CryoSat satellite missions, has revealed alarming findings about the state of Antarctica's ice shelves...

Extreme events in Antarctica such as ocean heat waves and ice loss will almost certainly become more common and more severe, researchers say. With drastic...

According to the World Meteorological Organization, July 2023 is likely to have been the hottest month on record. While much of Europe, North America and Asia suffered the immediate...

Monitoring the Earth's polar ice sheets is important to determining their past, current, and future contributions to sea level rise and to mitigate the resulting impact on coastal populations.

The workshop aims to address Polar resilience, the changing Arctic economy and not least the changing climate at both poles, and how Copernicus can support monitoring these...

Last month saw the lowest extent of Antarctic sea ice on record for July, according to the European Union's satellite monitoring group.

Scientists develop a combinational approach to more accurately estimate changes in elevation in the Antarctic ice sheet

This special episode of Climate Now explores the latest data from the frozen continent and explore how this extreme environment is changing as the planet warms.
