For Toy-Like NASA Robots in Arctic, Ice Research is Child's Play
07.15.08 -- SnoMotes are the first prototype network of their kind envisioned to rove treacherous areas of the Arctic and Antarctic.
'Broken Heart' Image the Last for NASA's Long-Lived Polar Mission
04.28.08 -- NASA's Polar satellite concluded its successful 10-year mission with a breathtaking image of the colorful dancing lights of an aurora.
Researchers Warm Up to Melt's Role in Greenland Ice Loss
04.17.08 -- Whether or not summertime melt has a significant influence on Greenland ice loss has been an endless topic of debate among scientists -- until now.
Researchers Say Arctic Sea Ice Still at Risk Despite Cold Winter
03.19.08 -- Using the latest satellite observations, NASA researchers and others report that the Arctic is still on 'thin ice' when it comes to the condition of sea ice cover in the region.
NASA Spacecraft Photographs Avalanches on Mars
03.03.08 -- The High Resolution Imaging Experiment on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft in orbit around Mars, has taken the first ever image of active avalanches near the Red Planet's north pole.
Greenland's Rising Air Temperatures Drive Ice Loss at Surface and Beyond
02.20.08 -- A new NASA study confirms that the surface temperature of Greenland's massive ice sheet has been rising, fueling the loss of the island's ice at the surface and throughout the mass beneath.
Ulysses Spacecraft Flies Over Sun's North Pole
01.14.08 -- The Ulysses spacecraft made a rare flyby of the sun's north pole on Jan. 14, 2008. Unlike any other spacecraft, Ulysses is able to sample winds at the sun's poles, which are difficult to study from Earth.
Scientific Balloons Achieve Antarctic Flight Record
01.04.08 -- NASA and the National Science Foundation have achieved a new milestone in conducting scientific observations from balloons, by launching and operating three long-duration flights within a single Antarctic summer. Scientists are using the balloons to investigate the nature of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and to search for antimatter.
NASA Satellite Reveals Unprecedented View of Mysterious 'Night-Shining' Clouds
12.10.07 -- NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere satellite has provided the first global-scale, full-season view of iridescent polar clouds that form 50 miles above Earth's surface.
NASA Sees Arctic Ocean Circulation About-Face
11.13.07 -- A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales. The results suggest not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming.
