R esearchers from the University of Copenhagen have found decades-old aerial photos that are helping them better understand ...

Antarctic sea ice began to change rapidly in 2015 and 2016. Since then it has remained well below the long-term average.

Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.

The left map illustrates the cumulative melt days on the Greenland Ice Sheet for the 2025 melt season through June 30. The ...

A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...

Long-lost 1960s aerial photos let Copenhagen researchers watch Antarctica’s Wordie Ice Shelf crumble in slow motion. By ...

In the latest attack on science by the Trump administration, researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center will no longer receive data from a fleet of military satellites.

New advancements in satellite technology are transforming how we understand the role oceans play in regulating carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in Earth’s atmosphere. While the oceans have long served as a ...

A new L-band radar system is proposed to measure ice thickness, basal conditions and ice-shelves bottom melt rates. The concept for ice measurements with an L-band radar is based on the recent success ...

Here, the new satellite reveals stunning variety within the tropical forest landscape. Green hues indicate forested areas; ...

Ice shelves, like Wordie, act as a kind of brake on glaciers flowing from the ice sheet towards the sea. When an ice shelf vanishes, the glaciers lose this support and can begin to float and melt more ...

The paper presents a unique dataset based on the vast archives of old aerial images combined with modern satellite observations, which, for the first time, shows the collapse of an ice shelf as a ...
