An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

Antarctica has lost enough ice over the last 30 years to cover the City of Los Angeles area 10 times over, according to new ...

For scientists who study the Southern Ocean, a long-standing silver lining in the gloomy forecast of climate change has been ...

A seabed curtain to protect Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica would be difficult and expensive, but doing nothing to slow the glacier's collapse could be even worse.

Tidal action pumping warmer sea water on the underside of the massive Thwaites Glacier will “inexorably” accelerate its melting this century, which could lead to the collapse of the entire West ...

It’s not easy to find silver linings amid the rapid, human-driven destabilization of Earth’s climate—though that hasn’t ...

PARIS — Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on ...

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica ...

New study shows melting Antarctic ice adds only a small amount of iron to the ocean. Most iron comes from deep water and sea floor sediments.

Ice Memory Foundation’s specially dug ‘sanctuary’ offers storage for cores, which hold thousands of years of history ...

GENEVA – Glaciers in Antarctica are melting faster and across a much wider area than previously thought, a development that threatens to raise sea levels worldwide and force millions of people to flee ...
