A recent study has unearthed evidence of a 9,000-year-old ice melt in Antarctica, shedding light on the alarming speed at ...

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 ...

With the pace of climate change speeding up, extreme weather and other impacts are taking an increasing toll on populations and environments across the globe. Here are some of the developments this ye ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The ...

Around 9,000 years ago, at the time when the regional sea level reached its peak, warm deep water flowed into the area, leading to the collapse of the ice shelf. As a result, ice discharge accelerated ...

A study has revealed that the substantial retreat of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) approximately 9,000 years ago was ...

Earth may be on the verge of crossing several climate change tipping points that could have irreversible and devastating ...

Researchers warn Antarctica is undergoing abrupt changes that could trigger global consequences. Melting ice, collapsing ice ...

Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves may be at risk of disappearing under high-emission scenarios by 2300, according to a ...

The Amazon rainforest is so big that it makes its own climate. As they photosynthesise and transpire, its billions of trees collectively produce enough moisture to form clouds. These, by some ...

Ancient sediment pulled from nearly a mile below the Greenland ice sheet — and later stored for roughly two decades at UB, whose researchers are still studying it today — is the focus of a new film.

The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that will happen — and how fast — is anything but settled. However, not all ...
