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

Including the effects of evolving subglacial water in ice sheet models can triple the amount of ice flowing to the ocean. This adds more than two meters to global sea levels by 2300, with ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...

New research reveals Antarctic sea ice has hit record lows three times since 2017, creating cascading effects on global ...

Sea level on Earth has been rising and falling ever since there was water on the planet. Scientists were already able to use ...

New research challenges the long-held belief that the Arctic Ocean was covered by a massive ice shelf during ice ages.

Using a hot water drill, they bored a hole nearly 2,000 feet (600 meters) deep into the ice and, over a five-day period, sent down various instruments to take measurements from the glacier. The ...

Even during the coldest 750,000 years, the Arctic Ocean had open water and sustained life thanks to seasonal sea ice. “Our ...

The biggest revelation was that the ice melt is very uneven, with relatively slow loss in flat areas on the underside of the glacier. But the warm water entering Thwaites Glacier’s crevasses ...

In 2017, Alf Norkko, a professor of marine research at the University of Helsinki, and his team discovered big changes on the seafloor under Antarctic sea ice since their previous diving ...
