But if the current begins to weaken, it would allow warmer water to seep in closer to the ice shelves, speeding up the melting of Antarctic ice. “Faster ice melting could then lead to further ...

Arctic sea ice has recorded its smallest winter peak extent since satellite records began 47 years ago, new data reveals.

But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ways. Recent scientific studies reveal that melting ice sheets in West Antarctica might trigger ...

Antarctica’s summer sea ice has dropped to one of its lowest extents ever recorded, shrinking to levels 30% below the ...

Model of Antarctica's Water Enhances Sea Level ... New Autonomous System to Monitor Arctic's Melting Ice Feb. 10, 2025 — Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational ...

The bright white surface of sea ice plays an important role in slowing warming as it reflects sunlight back into space, in what is known as the albedo effect. Conversely, its melting creates a ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Kohei Mizobata, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, including ...

But according to a new study, the answer could actually lie in the Arctic. Scientists have warned that melting ice at the North Pole could unleash 'zombie' viruses with the potential to trigger ...

The Arctic’s winter ice extent reached its lowest recorded level in March since satellite monitoring began in 1979.

The economic promise of the Arctic, and particularly the region’s greater accessibility, has also heightened military and security sensitivities. The day before J.D. Vance’s visit to Greenland ...

Enhanced westerly winds associated with global warming will strengthen the clockwise circulations and heat transport to the ...
