One of the biggest challenges in predicting Antarctica's deeply uncertain future is understanding exactly what's driving its ...

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. Their research, aided by a custom-designed drone, could help ...

A University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led study is developing innovative methods to accurately predict how ice sheets and glaciers are deforming and moving. Just published in the journal ...

SECOND ONLY TO THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET. BUT THE ICE IS MELTING. FAST. THE GREENLAND ICE CAP IS NOW THE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE. IT’S OUTSTRIPPED THE GENERAL WARMING OF ...

Melting Antarctic Ice Sheets Will Slow Earth's Strongest Ocean Current Mar. 3, 2025 — Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current ...

When volcanic eruptions make headlines, the images often depict fiery lava and towering ash clouds. But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ...

As rising temperatures melt Antarctica’s ice sheet and cause more precipitation, the Southern Ocean’s upper layer is growing less salty – and thus, less dense. This creates a lid that limits the ...
