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 ...

When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away ...

Researchers found Antarctic melt only delays - never prevents - the AMOC’s long decline, with major impacts on weather, seas, ...

Scientists believe this pattern of weakening could be an early warning for other Antarctic ice shelves as well.

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

As the last Ice Age waned and the Holocene dawned, deep-ocean circulation around Antarctica underwent dramatic shifts that ...

A study published Monday finds parts of Antarctica's ice shelves are expected to melt in the coming years, no matter how much progress is made to slash greenhouse emissions and mitigate global warming ...
