The pH scale is a measure of how acidic or alkaline something is, 1 being highly acidic, 14 being highly alkaline, and 7 ...

Old Antarctic photos help University of Copenhagen scientists trace ice shelf collapse and predict future sea level rise.

Scientists have made an astonishing discovery after finding lobster-like creatures beneath the depths of the Antarctic ice.

For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...

Even during the coldest 750,000 years, the Arctic Ocean had open water and sustained life thanks to seasonal sea ice. “Our ...

A new UC study uncovers hidden melt beneath Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf, shedding new light on climate change impacts and rising sea levels.

I think the most surprising find was that there was so much life under this location. So imagine this is an iceberg that's 150 meters thick and it's been there for decades if not centuries.

New research reveals for the first time how a major Antarctic ice shelf has been subjected to increased melting by warming ocean waters over the last four decades. Scientists from the University of ...

The front cliff of the Ross Ice Shelf towers high above the 6,000-ton icebreaker, the Nathaniel B. Palmer, in the background. But 90 percent of its thickness lies underwater.

The potential acceleration and eventual disintegration of the Ross Ice Shelf, leading to its movement into the sea, would have far-reaching consequences for ice coverage throughout the region.

And while icequakes and fractures are just a part of life on the Ross Ice Shelf, this massive chunk of ice did completely disintegrate some 120,000 years ago during Earth’s last interglacial period.

In 2021, Griffiths revealed the extraordinary discovery of Antarctic life on the ocean floor, some 260km (161 miles) from open seas, trapped in the waters beneath an ice shelf more than a ...
