Polar bears are the poster children of climate change—and for good reason. These giant bears hunt, mate and spend their days hanging out on Arctic sea ice, which is rapidly disappearing as the climate ...

With over 170 million Americans facing below average temperatures, even colder air may be on the horizon thanks to the displacement of the polar vortex that will lock in a deep winter feel and park ...

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 ...

The only heavy icebreaker operated by the U.S. Coast Guard has arrived in Hawaii on its way to its 29th deployment to Antarctica, the service confirmed late Tuesday. USCGC Polar Star left its homeport ...

In yet another sign that winter weather is either here or will be soon, the dreaded polar vortex is making news yet again. Its potential arrival in the United States over the next few weeks is cause ...

In an early sign of the winter weather that's coming, the dreaded polar vortex is making news yet again. The polar vortex is "ramping up from its summer slumber," said meteorologist Judah Cohen in an ...

What it says on the tin. This repo provides functions for producing bivariate polar plots, a useful graphical analysis tool in air pollution research. This implementation is largely based on the R ...

While meteorologists say that in most cases, polar vortex intrusions aren't disruptive, they are sometimes associated with cold air outbreaks and winter storms, which can in turn affect travel ...

This is a huge upgrade over the Polar Vantage M2 and one of the best Polar watches to date. It’s not quite Apple Watch sexy and Garmin has better looking watches but Polar has delivered a good looking ...
