Researchers found Antarctic melt only delays - never prevents - the AMOC’s long decline, with major impacts on weather, seas, ...

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

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In ...

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

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

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

When snow falls on the ice sheet, where subzero temperatures ensure it doesn’t melt. Antarctic temperatures regularly reach ...

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 ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The same oceanic mechanisms could now accelerate Antarctic melting and global ...
