With #Arctic sea ice tracking at record lows going into the summer melt season it’s a good reminder, I witnessed and documented the first great sea ice loss and tipping point 19 yrs ago #sailing the #NorthwestPassage

Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea remains near record high levels in the eastern Bering but well below normal on the Russian side in NSIDC data. Area of open water now extends into the Gulf of Anadyr. Two storms this week to bring periods of south winds to the SE Bering Sea. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

A massive arctic thaw is unleashing carbon frozen for thousands of years The team examined a region of Alaska's North Slope roughly the size of Wisconsin, where hundreds of rivers and streams drain into the Beaufort Sea. Using 44 years of model data at a resolution of one kilometer, they found that runoff is rising sharply, rivers are carrying increasing amounts of carbon, and the thaw season is extending later into the year, now reaching late summer and fall. The findings were published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles. Arctic Rivers Play an Outsized Role in the Global System Rivers in the Arctic have a surprisingly large influence on the planet. They deliver about 11% of the world's river water into an ocean that holds just 1% of global ocean volume. This makes the Arctic Ocean especially sensitive to changes occurring in rivers and streams across the region. Although melting snow supplies much of this water, thawing permafrost is becoming increasingly important. The ground contains a layer known as the "active layer," which freezes and thaws each year. As the climate warms, this layer is getting deeper, allowing more groundwater to flow into Arctic rivers. Thawing Soil Is Releasing Ancient Carbon The active layer holds large quantities of organic material that have been frozen...

Science news this week: Artemis II lifts off, diabetes cured in mice, and smog in China shapes Arctic storms The long-awaited launch of NASA's Artemis II mission dominated science news this week, with the excitement peaking Wednesday (April 1) as the space agency's first crewed mission to the moon in over 50 years blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Millions tuned in around the world as the towering Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule rose off the launchpad at Kennedy Space Center at 6:35 p.m. EDT. Live Science covered the launch live, with reporters following the action both remotely and directly from Florida's Space Coast. The liftoff mostly went off without a hitch, though the launch team had to resolve one unusual range issue before takeoff. The four Artemis II crewmembers are now well into their 10-day journey around the moon, during which they'll run tests aimed at building NASA's capacity to execute its planned lunar surface missions. Live Science will be covering highlights from the mission, including its expected reentry on April 10, so stay tuned for updates. Back in the realm of Earthbound science, chemists have discovered a method to turn breadcrumbs into hydrogen for use in chemical manufacturing. Archaeologists found the world's oldest evidence of gambling in the form of dice invented by Indigenous people...

Bar plot of the percent of the eastern Bering Sea, defined as the Bering Sea east of 175ºW, with sea ice concentration of 15 percent or higher each March 27 between 1972 and 2026.

Sea ice in the eastern Bering Sea this Spring is the most extensive it's been since 2008 and is only a bit behind the king of high ice springs, 1976, in ERA5 data courtesy @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social. However, ice extent is well below normal in the western Bering Sea. 1/2

Line graph time series of 2026's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2025. 2026 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between March and May by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 3rd lowest on record (JAXA data)

• about 470,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 840,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,420,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,820,000 km² below the 1980s mean
