AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoArctic Sea Ice: Chemical traces from algae that lived in Arctic sea ice 6,000 years ago suggest models may overestimate future winter ice by about 1 million square kilometres. The finding follows record-low winter peaks in 2025 and 2026. Greenland Ice Sheet: Greenland lost about 135 billion tonnes of ice in the year to August, marking its 30th consecutive year of net loss—even after a relatively cool summer. Arctic Climate: Two decades of measurements point to three distinct Arctic atmospheric zones, each responding differently to warming and cloud formation. Ice-Shelf Warning: A vast ancient shelf in Baffin Bay once helped hold back Greenland and Canadian ice sheets; researchers say its collapse was likely followed by rapid retreat, offering lessons for Antarctica. Wildlife Refuge: The Last Ice Area north of Greenland and Canada may shelter ice-dependent wildlife and support Inuit communities, but its future relies on sea ice transported from far beyond the region.
