Antarctica – a land of endless ice, but beneath this frozen expanse lies a hidden and potentially explosive secret...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has ...

As ice recedes, hidden volcanoes under Antarctica awaken, reshaping predictions for climate change. When glaciers melt, they ...

The world’s biggest environmental problem, with the potential to severely harm humanity, is climate change. It is a multifaceted crisis that intensifies other ecological challenges and directly ...

Salt (a chemical combination of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium chloride) is a common chemical de-icer because it lowers the freezing point of water, quickly melting ice in ...

Scientists know that the loss of Antarctic sea ice can diminish penguin numbers, cause ice shelves to melt in warmer waters, and impede the Southern Ocean from absorbing carbon dioxide. But this new ...

Predicting the sea level in 75 years requires precise calculations and correct models of the melting of the ice from, e.g., Greenland. To do so, researchers need valid data—and photos ...

Spanning an area of 3672 square kilometres when measured in August - slightly bigger than Rhode Island - the A23a iceberg has been carefully tracked by scientists ever since it calved from the ...
