A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback loop.

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive chemical analysis, the researchers discovered just how extreme and outlier the ...

The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

Greenland’s Ice Sheet Collapse Could Be Closer Than We Think The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would cause devastating sea-level rise globally over the next few hundred years, report scientists in Norway.

According to new research, even if global warming is limited to 1.5°C, Earth's ice sheets could still experience irreversible melting, leading to significant sea level rise. Scientists found that ...
