Stanford researchers discovered that increased meltwater and rainfall account for 60% of the decades-long gap between ...

Climate models have predicted that the ocean surrounding Antarctica should be warming, but new research shows that it's ...

Everyone knows Antarctica is cold and icy, but what's underneath the ice has been a mystery. Scientists used six decades' ...

Stanford researchers have integrated machine learning with high-resolution satellite and aerial observations to analyze the ...

Antarctica sea ice has been disappearing over the last several years as global temperatures rise amid climate change. The new map of Antarctica's topography beneath the ice gives scientists a ...

Data by Pritchard, H., et al. (BAS) A new detailed map of Antarctica is set to significantly improve predictions of how ice flows and melts in response to climate change, say the scientists ...

That cold, dense water sinks quickly into the deepest 'abyssal' zones of the ocean ... However, as the climate warms, the ice surrounding Antarctica is melting at an ever-faster rate.

On the surface, Deception Island's Whalers Bay is still humanity's biggest imprint on Antarctica, outside of its 80 or so research stations. But a climate scientist might say otherwise.

Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica ...

Rising temperatures in Antarctica have seen two species of plants grow quicker, in a ten year period, because of climate change, according to an article published in Current Biology under the ...

Many scientists agree that we have already reached this 1.5 degree target, and it is likely to get hotter, with flow-on impacts on Antarctic ice melting,” climate scientist Dr. Taimoor Sohail said.

The more of these measurements we collect over time, the more we'll learn about Antarctic marine microbial communities, their interactions and susceptibility to climate change. "At the same time ...
