It’s a bit like reading a very dense book – it’s small in size, but it’s full of information.” Paleoclimatologists like ...

A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. "The dramatic changes in the Arctic warrant ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

Melting ice in the Arctic is causing an increasing amount of freshwater to enter the North Atlantic, which is expected to result in a weakening of the Atlantic overturning circulation. However, many ...

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

New study shows melting Antarctic ice adds only a small amount of iron to the ocean. Most iron comes from deep water and sea floor sediments.

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s future as the climate warms. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
