The researchers’ model provides a close match to the monitoring data, meaning it provides an accurate assessment of what is happening and will continue to happen to the polar bear population if it ...

Polar bears in Western Hudson Bay have seen their population nearly halved over the last several decades, largely due to dwindling sea ice and limited hunting opportunities, according to the findings ...

University of Toronto Scarborough researchers have directly linked population decline in polar bears living in Western Hudson Bay to shrinking sea ice caused by climate change.

The researchers’ model provides a close match to the monitoring data, providing an accurate assessment of what will continue to happen to the polar bear population amid ongoing sea ice loss. “Our ...
