Melting polar ice is unleashing stronger, faster currents, reshaping heat flow, nutrient pathways, and microplastic movement ...

Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water ...

Hidden beneath the pristine white surface of Antarctica and Greenland lies an invisible crisis. While most people imagine ice ...

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level rise.

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

In that moderate emissions scenario, we found the highest sea-level rise from Antarctic ice melt alone, up to 5 feet (1.5 ...

When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away ...

Around 9,000 years ago, East Antarctica went through a dramatic meltdown that was anything but isolated. Scientists have discovered that warm deep ocean water surged beneath the region’s floating ice ...

A new study reveals how shifting ice shells on icy moons can cause dramatic pressure changes, sometimes enough to boil their hidden oceans. The outer planets of our Solar System are accompanied by ...
