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 ...

A top climate scientist says we may have crossed a dangerous tipping point in Antarctica—and the long-term fallout could be ...

And the eruptions can make warming worse, melting more glaciers.

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

If life can thrive and survive under the ice in Antarctica, it might also be possible it can thrive in extraterrestrial environments too' ...

In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased ...

Researchers found ancient river-carved plains beneath East Antarctica that may help slow ice loss and improve sea-level rise ...

Even the current level of global warming may already have locked in unstoppable ice melt, with a major new study warning of ...

Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.

Antarctic sea ice began to change rapidly in 2015 and 2016. Since then it has remained well below the long-term average.

The funding allows earth sciences researcher Sophie Nowicki to continue leading an international ice sheet modeling project.

When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet.
