A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth ...
When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the ...
Plus, the fight over climate-disaster scores, and the blistering ascent of BYD.
Scientists studying ancient ocean sediments discovered a surprising link between the shrinking of West Antarctica’s ice and the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
Large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible and happening at a rapid rate, and now a new international ...
A recent study shows that there is a lot more sediment trapped beneath Greenland’s ice sheet than we realized, which could ...
When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.
New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the consequential region.
Headlines about melting ice sheets usually focus on what is lost and then move on. What comes next is often overlooked, even though it matters just as much. A new study of East Antarctica reaches back ...
Ancient sediment pulled from nearly a mile below the Greenland ice sheet — and later stored for roughly two decades at UB, whose researchers are still studying it today — is the focus of a new film.
