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

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

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

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

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

Melting sea ice is a global issue with far-reaching consequences. As the Arctic and Antarctic are losing ice faster than expected, experts are noticing damaging ripple effects. Sea ice forms on the ...

It's about as remote as it gets, yet what happens in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica impacts all of us. And what's going on down there? Over the past few years, researchers have discovered dramatic ...

A research team has found that summer rainfall in the Arctic would increase by about 17% under 2°C global warming, approximately 16% of which is attributed to sea ice retreat. Their findings were ...

This is not good news for the future of our planet.

The melting of Arctic ice has been one of the most profound ripple effects from climate change, an impact often depicted with images of a lone polar bear stranded on a dwindling piece of sea ice. Now, ...

UC Irvine & NASA researchers have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing ...
