A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth in the Southern Ocean over previous glacial cycles, but not in the way ...

Vital Antarctic glacier holding back major sea level rises is 'speeding up fast’. The Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica’s single largest contributor to sea-level rise, has accelerated sharply since ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Due to its thick, vast ice sheet, Antarctica appears to be a single, continuous landmass centered over the South Pole and spanning ...

There's a mission to stop a 'Doomsday Glacier' that could wreak havoc on countries if it collapsed, though it could cost $80 ...

Analysis of a 2001 sediment core reveals thinning of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet, reducing CO2's absorption capability in the Southern Ocean.

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

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 ...

The flow of ice at Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has sped up dramatically due to the disintegration of the ice shelf in front of it, and this could lead to faster sea level rise ...

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