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

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

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

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath the Antarctic ice shelves that are causing aggressive ...

When sea ice melts and refreezes, it stirs vortices that pull warm deep water up, eroding Antarctica's shrinking ice shelves.

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

As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is often brought up in conversations about global warming or glacier retreat, ...

Polar sea ice is vanishing far faster than most people expected, and the change is not only visible from above. Beneath the ...
