A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth ...

Scientists studying ancient ocean sediments discovered a surprising link between the shrinking of West Antarctica’s ice and ...

Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...

A sediment core from the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean has provided a research team led by geochemist Dr Torben Struve from the University of Oldenburg with evidence of an unexpected climate ...

A process has been discovered beneath the Antarctic ice that could weaken carbon sequestration and accelerate climate change.

Pink boulders led scientists to a massive granite formation buried under Antarctica’s ice, solving a decades-old geological mystery.

The study claims that Pine Island glacier's ice flow has increased in recent years, as the ice shelf in front of it is losing ...

The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that will happen — and how fast — is anything but settled. However, not all ...

A British Antarctic Survey drilling campaign on Thwaites Glacier, the massive ice formation often called the “Doomsday ...
