In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Long-lost 1960s aerial photos let Copenhagen researchers watch Antarctica’s Wordie Ice Shelf crumble in slow motion. By ...

On 28 November 1966, an American airplane flies over the Antarctic Peninsula just south of the southernmost tip of Chile. On ...

Old Antarctic photos help University of Copenhagen scientists trace ice shelf collapse and predict future sea level rise.

Even Australia isn’t safe. Much of our population lives along the coast, and many suburbs in cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast sit just metres above sea level, making them vulnerable ...

Ice shelves float in the water, so they don't change the sea level as they melt. However, they do affect land-based glaciers, destabilizing them and speeding their melting, and that raises the sea ...

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse the never-explored region beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in West ...

In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased ...

The melting processes in the Antarctic ice shelf are an important cause of the anticipated rise in sea levels. This is because the Ross Ice Shelf and other ice shelf formations act as a barrier, ...

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater ...
