Have a great weekend! Here's your Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 5th lowest on record (JAXA data)... • about 460,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,240,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,860,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,140,000 km² below the 1980s mean More graphics:

#Arctic While roots can help lock carbon into soils by supporting plant growth and contributing organic matter, they can also stimulate microbes that break down soil carbon and release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane https://phys.org/news/2026-11-arctic-roots-play-key-role.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Arctic plant roots may play key role in climate change

A new review involving researchers at Umeå University has revealed the critical role that plant roots play in shaping how Arctic tundra ecosystems respond to climate change. The paper, recently published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, highlights how processes occurring beneath the soil surface could help scientists better understand how one of the fastest-changing ecosystems on Earth will influence the future climate.

Chemicals from phones and TVs found in Arctic and Antarctic soil

Chemicals used in LCD and OLED screens have been found in remote Arctic, Antarctic, and Tibetan Plateau soils, with levels generally higher in newer samples.

#Arctic Arctic winter sea ice could disappear much faster than scientists previously expected, according to new research using climate clues from 6,000 years ago. By comparing ancient ocean sediments with modern climate models, researchers found that future winter ice coverage may be roughly one million square kilometers smaller than earlier predictions suggested https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261022081259.htm #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Loss of a rare lake reveals how warming has hit the Canadian Arctic’s ‘planetary fridge’ https://news.mongabay.com/2026/10/loss-of-a-rare-lake-reveals-how-warming-has-hit-the-canadian-arctics-planetary-fridge/ #Canada #Arctic #environment #lake

Loss of a rare lake reveals how warming has hit the Canadian Arctic’s ‘planetary fridge’

When an ice shelf blocks a polar fjord, it sparks the creation of an ecosystem like no other: the epishelf lake. Meltwater pools up behind the ice shelf, floating above the denser seawater, with both freshwater and marine species found in distinct layers within the same water column. But Canada’s last known epishelf lake, at […]

#News: Musician Yann Tiersen is fighting the "colonisation" of our planet! ⛵. by🎶 avoiding #flights and using his sailboat, he toured the melting glaciers of the #Arctic to record an album that serves as a "soundtrack for #Climate protest" against destructive #capitalism and #climatechange.🌍✊ #ClimateActionNow #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives@mastodonapp.uk

Another season of tracking freezing degree days in the high #Arctic has ended. This is a simple measure of relative cold integrated with time. This past year was quite anomalous again, consistent with a rapidly warming Arctic system. ☑️ Follow temperatures along daily at:

Sea surface temperatures around Alaska for the week ending October 2 feature water warmer the normal in the open Gulf of Alaska but near normal near the coast. Western and northern Bering Sea warm but southeast Bering remains cool. Mostly below normal north of the Bering Strait although above normal near the Alaskan coast. Data from NOAA/PSL/ESRL. @Climatologist49@fediscience.org @ZLabe@fediscience.org#akwx #Arctic #SST
