Beneath Antarctica’s floating ice shelves, warm ocean water is carving hidden channels into the ice from below, and a study ...

Two new studies that relied on data from a fleet of diving robots show how climate change is altering ocean movements in ways ...

New data confirms what climate experts have long worried about: a warm mass of deep polar water has expanded toward ...

Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from Australian scientists shows that melting Antarctic ice shelves and changing sea ...

A decades-long study of oceanographic data provides the first evidence that warmer water has moved nearer to the continent.

New research shows Antarctic ice shelves are melting from below faster than previously measured, with warm ocean water carving deep channels and creeping closer to the continent. Separate fieldwork ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse the never-explored region beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica.

Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that ...

A new decades-long study of oceanographic data provides the first evidence that deep-ocean heat has moved closer to ...

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn. A new study suggests the melting of ...

Below the Antarctic ice lies a treasure trove of minerals, including copper, iron, gold, silver, platinum and cobalt. Warming temperatures due to climate change could unearth these minerals and, in ...

Sea ice around Antarctica expanded for several decades until a dramatic decline in 2015. The reasons behind this are revealed by research from the University of Gothenburg. Antarctic sea ice plays a ...
