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

As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is ...

Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

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

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most ...

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

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

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 ...

A study has revealed that the substantial retreat of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) approximately 9,000 years ago was driven by a self-reinforcing feedback loop between ice melt and ocean ...

Ella Gilbert received funding from the British Antarctic Survey. Images of colossal chunks of ice plunging into the sea accompany almost every news story about climate change. It can often make the ...
