Climate change is putting countless marine animals under pressure but jellyfish could actually benefit from warming ocean waters. A study by researchers at Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) looked at eight different species of Arctic jellyfish. They exposed them to rising water temperatures, sea ice retreat and other changing environmental conditions through computer models. Scientists found that by the second half of the century, seven of the eight species could expand their habitat polewards under these conditions. Simulations showed that the lion’s mane jellyfish - one of the biggest...

The Arctic could experience its first ice-free day in the next couple of years, scientists predict. A new study from the University of Colorado Boulder in the US finds this critical brink could be passed more than 10 years earlier than previously expected. It’s not quite as drastic as it sounds. For scientists, an ice-free Arctic doesn’t mean there would be zero ice in the water. The polar region will be considered free of ice when the ocean has less than one million square kilometres of ice. But that’s a huge depletion from where it stood just decades ago. The threshold represents less than 2...
