As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on ...

Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most ...

A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored ...

Far beneath Antarctica’s ice and fringing seas, scientists have revealed a labyrinth of more than 300 hidden canyons that ...

Around 9,000 years ago, East Antarctica went through a dramatic meltdown that was anything but isolated. Scientists have discovered that warm deep ocean water surged beneath the region’s floating ice ...

Slush – water-soaked snow – makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models. Researchers led ...

An enormous floating ice shelf in Antarctica that has existed since the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago collapsed this month with staggering speed during one of the warmest summers on record there, ...

British Antarctic Survey has captured dramatic satellite and video images of an Antarctic ice shelf that looks set to be the latest to break out from the Antarctic Peninsula. A large part of the ...
