A study has shown seawater infiltrating beneath West Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier. This discovery shows the need to reassess global sea level rise projections
In a massive effort to fight climate change, scientists embark on a $50 billion mission to safeguard one of Earth's most critical ice formations, Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica.
The Antarctic ozone hole has been exceptionally large and persistent for the last four years, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) may not be the main culprit, researchers from the University of Otago find.
The discovery of 27 avian footprints along the southern coast of Australia, originating from the Early Cretaceous period when Australia was linked to Antarctica, provides a new perspective on the early evolution of birds and potential migratory patterns.
A study led by researchers from Indiana University suggests that dispersing particles in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight could potentially mitigate the rapid melting in West Antarctica, thereby lowering the risk of catastrophic sea-level rise.
A recent study has identified the cause of the heatwave in a region of eastern Antarctica called "Dome C," where temperatures rose to 39 degrees Celsius above the usual.
Scientists suggest that the record-warm oceans, changes in ocean currents and winds, and the developing El Niño phenomenon may all be contributing factors to the alarmingly low sea ice levels in Antarctica this year.
Antarctic ice sheets hold enough water to raise global sea levels by several meters, however, their current condition is making researchers increasingly worried.
A new equation has revealed that twice the amount of predicted subglacial waters might be draining into the ocean, causing sea level rises and ecological damage.
