Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...

Antarctica, often regarded as the planet's last true wilderness, harbors unique ecosystems that support extraordinary biodiversity and contribute to global diversity and environmental stability. These ...

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame? When you purchase through links on ...

You can get in touch with Jess by emailing j.thomson@newsweek.com. Bizarre blue streaks dotted across an ice shelf in Antarctica have been spotted by NASA. These images, snapped by the OLI ...

Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include rainfall, according to new research.

Scientists used computer models to predict how water flows under the entire Antarctic ice sheet, which dictates where and how quickly glaciers move toward the ocean. The findings, published Dec ...

For steeply sloping ice, the insulating effect is much less. The energetic flow of meltwater as it rises under steep ice leads ... the Dotson ice shelf in west Antarctica, an autonomous robot ...

In one scenario, the team simulated the removal of an ice layer 1,000 meters thick over 300 years—a rate considered moderate for West Antarctica—and found an increase in volcanic activity and ...

The fourth Antarctic campaign of the Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has achieved a historic milestone this week, by successfully drilling a 2800-metre-long ice core, consisting of ice from the ...
