A recent study finds that algae can store nutrients, potentially allowing them to spread across more of the ice sheet, ...

Poking holes in the sea floor that used to be part of the Bering Land Bridge, researchers have found that large swaths of it ...

New research reveals that the cool conditions necessary for ice caps to form on Earth are rare in the planet’s history and depend on a complex interplay of factors. A team of scientists from the ...

The findings suggest that these algae can persist and spread without the need for additional nutrient inputs, intensifying ice sheet darkening and accelerating melt rates. The results were ...

The tiny ice in­hab­it­ants darken the gla­cier sur­face and can thus ac­cel­er­ate its melt­ing. Tiny algae darken the surface of glaciers and thus accelerate their melting. This is the case, for ...

BUT THE ICE IS MELTING FAST. THE GREENLAND ICE CAP IS NOW THE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE. IT’S OUTSTRIPPED THE GENERAL WARMING OF THE OCEAN, AND IT’S CONTRIBUTING MORE ...

The tiny ice inhabitants darken the glacier surface and can thus accelerate its melting. Tiny algae darken the surface of glaciers and thus accelerate their melting. This is the case, for example, on ...

However, especially where the glaciers are not covered in snow and the bare ice is exposed, they sometimes have dark patches. These are microscopic algae that grow on the ice and darken its surface.

We’re living in a weird time on Earth: a period when our planet has ice. Amid persistent and frequent record heat, it may be surprising to hear that Earth is currently relatively cool — at ...

Tiny algae darken the surface of glaciers and thus accelerate their melting. This is the case, for example, on the Greenland Ice Sheet, which plays an important role in our climate and is already ...

NEW YORK — The NFL salary cap will be between $277.5 million and $281.5 million for the 2025 season, rising as much as $26 million from last year. The bump is great news for Cincinnati ...
