If you’ve been following Miles O’Brien’s reports from Antarctica, you know he’s with an international group of researchers trying to measure what’s happening to the rapidly melting Thwaites Glacier.

Antarctica sits atop one of the planet’s most powerful climate levers. The frigid waters encircling the continent soak up a large share of the carbon dioxide humans emit, thanks to vast communities of ...

The environment is changing rapidly around the melting Thwaites Glacier. Seals can collect data in waters that ships could ...

The study claims that Pine Island glacier's ice flow has increased in recent years, as the ice shelf in front of it is losing ...

Ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods, thus ...

A bold new idea could help protect the 'Doomsday Glacier,' as melting speeds up faster than expected.

Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that ...

A process has been discovered beneath the Antarctic ice that could weaken carbon sequestration and accelerate climate change.

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...
