A ntarctica isn’t a floating chunk of ice like the Arctic. Beneath its frozen surface sits a solid continent of mountains, ...

Have you ever wondered what Antarctica might look like without ice? Now, a new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed ...

Ice loss in Greenland is already large, irreversible, and greatly accelerated after centuries of near stability. Though a ...

Greenland’s ice sheet is the second-largest ice cap on Earth, and because of the planet’s rising temperatures, it’s melting. Human-induced climate change is intensifying atmospheric rivers ...

Powerful storms called atmospheric rivers, which scientists think will become more intense as the planet warms, can replenish Greenland’s vanishing ice sheet if their timing is right 1.

A new study reveals that dark-pigmented microalgae, which contribute to the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, are highly efficient at nutrient uptake and growth, allowing them to rapidly ...

Dark algae that grow on the surface of Arctic ice sheets are likely to expand their range in the future, a trend that will exacerbate melt, sea level rise and warming. “These algae are not a new ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere, and it's melting rapidly. Climate change is causing more intense atmospheric rivers, which can deliver intense ...

These boats are able to break up ice sheets, which helps the ice flow naturally downstream instead of building up, causing blockages and flooding. But due to this year's colder temperatures ...
