Greenland’s ice-covered landscape looks like an immovable block on satellite maps. Yet the story beneath its center suggests ...

A forgotten set of photos taken by a U.S. Navy plane in 1966 has recently become the key to unlocking some crucial insights into Antarctica’s ice shelf dynamics. Scientists at the University of ...

Human activity is expected to cause fresher surface water that traps warmer and saltier layers below, so the reason for this change is unclear. “The increased salinity in the Southern Ocean is ...

Data from oceans, ice and the air all point to the same thing: rising invisible heat. What experiments are working, and what kinds of trials do we need to stop?

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace.

The melting of ice sheets and glaciers has significantly increased in recent decades and when certain thresholds are crossed, these melting mechanisms can reinforce themselves, accelerating this ...

A new coastline Greenland's coastline is being redrawn, both by changes in the extent of surface ice and by melting glaciers flowing into the sea.

The residents of the small western Peruvian town of Huaraz draw almost 20% of their annual water supply from melting ice. But Andean glaciers are thawing even faster than elsewhere.

Science Surviving the Thaw: Greenland’s Inuit Grapple with Their Melting World The decline of the island’s ice and increasingly volatile weather have made it hard to maintain some Indigenous ...

Recent scientific studies reveal that melting ice sheets in West Antarctica might trigger volcanic activity, creating a cycle that speeds up ice loss and sea-level rise.
