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

Antarctic ice is melting. But exactly which forces are causing it to melt and how melting will influence sea level rise are areas of active research. Understanding the decay of ice shelves, which ...

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

UC Irvine & NASA researchers have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing ...

Ice and its changes are an important part of the water cycle. In this activity, we’ll watch the melting of ice at different temperatures and in different conditions. Safety First! Read the Science ...

Rising temperatures of the world's oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...
