In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased ...

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

Satellite data shows that Antarctic ice sheets have grown in size, prompting claims that climate change is in reverse or even ...

Ice sheets in Greenland, Antarctica melting faster than previously thought, research shows. New research shows that the massive ice sheets at the top and bottom of our planet are shrinking much ...

Melting Antarctic ice will negatively impact our oceans. Here’s why. Melting ice is diluting the ocean, disrupting the vital ocean current. Taimoor Sohail and Bishakhdatta Gayen report ...

The dramatic loss of sea ice around Antarctica has occurred with the re-emergence of the Maud Rise polynya in the Weddell Sea ...

Drilling 500 meters through the ice sheet to the Antarctic mainland beneath, they encountered water and sedimentary rock. For the hot water drilling, they used a high-pressure nozzle and water at ...

More ominously, the rate of greening has increased with each passing year. As the authors note, the rate of growth in green on the continent was 0.424 km2 (0.164 m2) per year between 2016 and 2021 ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater ...

Not green, and not really land, but rather covered by the second largest body of ice in the world, second only to the Antarctic ice sheet. But the ice is melting…fast.

In the autumn of 2021, an international team of researchers from New Zealand's Antarctic Science Platform set off toward the South Pole. Their destination was the Ross Ice Shelf in West Antarctica ...
