Alaska, often referred to as the last frontier, is at the forefront of climate change, with regions experiencing dramatic temperature increases that far exceed global averages. Recent studies have highlighted hotspots of extreme warming across the state,

A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean. This finding comes from researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, who discovered that this hidden process is adding an estimated 230 tons of organic carbon per day into the Beaufort Sea during summer.

It’s been warmer in Alaska than in three dozen other states. If someone asked you, “Where can I go in the United States to escape the frigid air this January?” what would you say?

A bleak side-by-side image of the weather on opposite sides of the United States this week appears to show a stark shift in weather behavior. This week, several states in the South saw a rare and deadly snowstorm while Alaska was snow-free with a partially sunny sky.

The Arctic region has shifted from storing carbon dioxide to releasing it into the atmosphere, according to the 2024 Arctic Report Card released by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“Understanding what is happening in Alaska regarding climate change can also help us understand how New York State and this part of the country could be impacted in the decades to come.” Parts of Alaska are seeing weather that more closely resembles a ...

Alaska's political leaders are cheering an executive order that aims to boost oil and gas drilling, mining and logging in the state. But environmental groups say Trump's policies are worrisome.

A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ocean, where it can contribute to climate change.

Alaska leaders cheered Trump's order titled ... Communities experienced the impacts of climate change, including thinning sea ice, coastal erosion and thawing permafrost that undermines ...

During the first week of his second term, President Trump issued a slew of executive orders (EOs) and presidential memorandums that directly

Shell co-owns the large Atlantic Shores project, which has most of its permits and would generate enough power for 1 million homes if both of two phases were completed.

The world is adept at balancing the warming gases in its atmosphere, but anthropogenic climate change is challenging this balance. A new study reports that 34 percent of the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ) is actually releasing more carbon than its storing, and that number climbs to 40 percent when considering wildfires.
