But emperor penguins need a certain amount of sea ice to survive. Too much sea ice increases the distances parents must travel to feed their chicks. Too little ice, however, reduces places to hide ...

satellite imagery with field-based validation surveys and long-term data has provided the first multi-year time series that documents emperor penguin global population trends.

Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), in collaboration with international partners, have developed a ...

However, it is troubling that Emperor penguins have to travel as far as they do to feed themselves and their chicks with their ice sheets melting at rapid rates, not seen at any other time in ...
