A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Antarctica may seem distant, but its melting ice could reshape our world. In just 60 seconds, discover how the "Doomsday ...

Scientists are trying to solve a decade-long mystery by determining the identity of anomalous signals detected from below ice in Antarctica.

Strange signals from outer space are constantly reaching Earth, hailing from sources like pulsars, quasars, and supernovas.

In all scenarios, glaciers lose mass rapidly over decades and then continue to melt at a slower pace for centuries — even without additional warming.

Antarctica is the world's great cooling unit. This vital part of Earth's climate system is largely powered by the annual freeze and melt of millions of square kilometers of sea ice around the ...

Huge blocks of ice regularly shear away from Antarctica’s ice shelves, but the losses are speeding up. This image, taken on February 11 by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, shows the Pine ...
