A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

A 'vulnerable Antarctica' Scientists said the map revealed that the ice sheet is at greater risk of melting due to the incursion of warm ocean water that’s occurring at the fringes of the continent.

A 'vulnerable Antarctica' Scientists said the map revealed that the ice sheet is at greater risk of melting due to the incursion of warm ocean water that’s occurring at the fringes of the continent.

As global temperatures rise, Antarctic ice will gradually start to loosen and fall into the ocean. With Bedmap3 as a guide, researchers can determine which parts of the sheet are likely to fall ...

Bedmap3 is the newest map showing what Antarctica will look like without ice. British Antarctic Survey. Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ships, and dog sleds to create the map and ...

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 ...

Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, with temperatures sometimes plunging to a frigid -135.8 F. Chunks of ice do break away, or "calve," occasionally in a natural process of iceberg formation.

The most detailed map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been assembled by a team of international scientists led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Known as Bedmap3 ...

Seals with funny hats are helping map the Antarctic seascape. These trackers turn seals into roving sensors. By Charlotte Hu. Published Nov 6, ... Studying the ocean is a daunting task.

Everyone knows Antarctica is cold and icy, but what's underneath the ice has been a mystery. Scientists used six decades' worth of technology to take a peek.
