Research led by polar scientists from Northumbria University has revealed new hope in natural environmental systems found in ...

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

When sea ice melts and refreezes, it stirs vortices that pull warm deep water up, eroding Antarctica's shrinking ice shelves.

This study gives important information that helps predict how Antarctica’s ice sheets might change in the future.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The same oceanic mechanisms could now accelerate Antarctic melting and global ...

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 ...

Integration of proxy records with ocean-climate modeling reveals that early Holocene ice-shelf retreat in East Antarctica was ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a system of Atlantic Ocean currents that redistributes heat and nutrients between the tropics and the North Atlantic, is one of the planet's ...

New research suggests that changes occurring in Antarctica could play a surprising role in supporting Earth’s natural ability ...
