The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using ...
Researchers developed a mathematical model showing how brine movement in sea ice enhances heat transfer, potentially improving climate change predictions for polar regions. A new applied mathematical ...
New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-up to three large-scale iceberg "calving" events in Antarctica, ...
July marks the midpoint of the summer sea ice melt season, during which ice declines rapidly under the almost constant Arctic sun, and melt ponds form on ice floes. Scientists study melt ponds to ...

Edward Doddridge receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Over the past four summers, Antarctic sea ice extent has hit new lows. I’m part of a large group of scientists who set out to ...
Satellite imagery has revealed a yet-to-be-explained rise in the Southern Ocean's salinity. It could be a key factor in the decline of the region's sea ice. When you purchase through links on our site ...
Between 720 million and 635 million years ago, Earth may have experienced one of ...
