They're in the headlines every week—critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite and the rare earth elements ...

It's common knowledge that Earth's southernmost continent, Antarctica, has exceptionally cold temperatures. However, you might not know the scope of the continent's frigidity. Antarctica is one of ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

The Antarctic ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent, averages around 1.2 miles in thickness, with its thickest point reaching nearly 3 miles, the Australian Antarctic Program reports.

The researchers for the first time have created a continent-wide map of Antarctica for studying the rampant changes in its ecosystem and spreading plant life. Antarctica has always been expected ...

Antarctica is covered with ice that is miles thick, and scientists have been studying what the continent's landscape looks like under all that ice for years. Bedmap3 comes 12 years after BAS ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

1st map of Antarctica's green space unveiled. ... Climate and weather patterns across the world are driven by the immense large ice masses on the Antarctic continent.

Sharper satellite images helped form the backbone of Bedmap3, which updates maps of icy Antarctica — particularly among the high mountains and isolated interior of the eastern part of the continent.

Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...

A new map shows the Antarctic continent in greater detail than ever before. It should help us to better understand the effects of climate change.
