A team led by Anna Wahlin, a professor of oceanographic physics at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, made a remarkable ...

An autonomous submarine exploring the remote waters beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica has discovered strange and ...

An autonomous submarine named Ran discovers strange structures under the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica, before mysteriously disappearing.

The robot spent a total of eight months beneath the frozen surface, briefly surfacing every five days to transmit its readings. What researchers discovered when they analyzed the data, however, was ...

Unmanned submarine Ran mapped Antarctica's Dotson Ice Shelf on 14 successful missions before vanishing on an extended ...

Researchers from the Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences and the British Antarctic Survey conducted a groundbreaking study under the Dotson Ice Shelf, utilizing an autonomous underwater vehicle.

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be ...

If it were to melt completely, the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) holds enough ice to raise the global sea levels by 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet).

Warmer surface temperatures during summers can cause more ice on Antarctica ice shelves to melt into standing water ponds, then leak into cracks and increase the odds of collapse, according to a new ...

Slush – water-soaked snow – makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models. Researchers led ...

British Antarctic Survey has captured dramatic satellite and video images of an Antarctic ice shelf that looks set to be the latest to break out from the Antarctic Peninsula. A large part of the ...

An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse, captured ...
