Sleeper sharks live extraordinarily long lives and can thrive in near-freezing ocean temperatures near Earth's poles.

Scientists have discovered that melting Antarctic ice once disrupted Earth’s global ocean conveyor belt. During past deglaciations, massive meltwater flows strengthened stratification in the Southern ...

Many experts had thought sharks didn’t exist in the frigid waters of Antarctica before this sleeper shark lumbered warily and ...

A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...

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 ...

For scientists who study the Southern Ocean, a long-standing silver lining in the gloomy forecast of climate change has been ...

The Antarctic, or Southern, Ocean is the world’s least-explored and least understood. But a team of scientists in land-locked Boulder has recently made a discovery that may lead to a better ...

New research sheds light on what drives reddish water to emerge from underground to pour onto the Taylor Glacier.

Scientists testing a popular climate theory in Antarctica found that melting glaciers deliver far less iron to the ocean than ...

Experts have long worried about melting glaciers and icebergs, warning of accelerated sea-level rise, warming oceans, and low ...

We all know that climate change is slowly causing massive changes to our world. What you might not know is that those changes are more extensive than just rising sea levels. In fact, research has ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...
