Researchers analyzing ancient seafloor sediments discovered that West Antarctica's ice sheet has collapsed and regrown ...

Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from ...

The Antarctic, or Southern, Ocean is the world’s least-explored and least understood. But a team of scientists in land-locked Boulder has recently made a discovery that may lead to a better ...

Glacial earthquakes are rocking the Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica. Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake ...

Antarctic ice loss increased rapidly in past climates when oceans warmed first, raising risks for modern coastlines.

Oxygen isotopes data enable researchers to look far back into the geologic past and reconstruct the climate of the past. In ...

Deep ocean water in the Antarctic is heating up and shrinking, with potentially far-reaching consequences for climate change and deep ocean ecosystems, according to a report. “Antarctic bottom water” ...

In the past, when West Antarctica melted, there was a rapid uptick in onshore geological activity in the area.

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

A research expedition in the Southern Ocean has mapped a string of seamounts that help to shape the Antarctic Circumpolar Current — an ocean current that flows clockwise around Antarctica. When you ...
