Warming temperatures appear to be driving genetic mutations in some polar bears to help them survive the shifting climatic conditions. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. The species is ...

This study was funded by grants from the Natural Environment Research Council (NE/S011188/1) and the European Research Council (SELECTHAPLOID - 101001341) The Arctic Ocean current is at its warmest in ...

The world’s polar bear population is projected to decline by two-thirds by 2050. A new study from the University of East Anglia suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and ...

Do you believe in Santa? If not, you might find yourself on a train heading toward the North Pole in order to help you believe, or this might just sound like the plot of "The Polar Express" to you.

New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and survive in increasingly challenging environments. The study by scientists at ...

Three polar vortex systems are expected to bring an Arctic chill to parts of the United States over the next few weeks. The Old Farmer's Almanac and NOAA have conflicting predictions for the upcoming ...

The polar vortex has broken, and severe temperatures are set to dominate most of the country in the coming days. Temperatures in the 10s are forecast for much of the Northeast, and subzero ...

Frigid temperatures are expected to impact much of the central and eastern United States in the coming weeks. The first of three polar vortex systems is expected this month, according to AccuWeather.

A disrupted polar vortex is expected to bring cold weather to many parts of the U.S., and potentially snow to some regions. A rare atmospheric event known as sudden stratospheric warming is being ...

A polar vortex is on its way for much of Canada next week. And while it’s not the first time Canadians have faced down the chill of a polar vortex in recent years, this one is set to cause ...

An extreme warming event high in the atmosphere is threatening to disrupt the polar vortex. We break down what that could mean for Canadians A rare, early, stratospheric warming event could shake up ...
