An international research team has recovered the longest sediment core ever drilled from beneath an ice sheet. The core ...

A 23-million-year record hidden beneath Antarctica’s ice may reshape forecasts of how rising temperatures affect global ...

A tube of mud can look like nothing special at first. Pull it from half a kilometer under Antarctic ice, though, and every ...

Scientists say they have drilled deeper than ever beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, peering back millions of years to reveal signs it was once, at least in part, open ocean.

Researchers created the first continent-wide inventory of these hidden volcanoes, called "ANT-SGV-25." By mapping the ...

Analyses will help to reveal how far the West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated in the past — and what it might do in the future.

Researchers have identified 138 candidate subglacial volcanoes hidden beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, 91 of which had never been recognized before, raising serious questions about what happens ...

“To our knowledge, the longest sediment cores previously drilled under an ice sheet are less than 10 m. We exceeded our ...

The 748-foot-long sediment core contains a record of roughly the past 23 million years, including periods when the planet's surface temperature was hotter than it is today ...

The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave as one single tipping element, but as a set of interacting basins with different critical thresholds. This is the finding of a new study by the Potsdam ...

Researchers have drilled deeper than ever before beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, uncovering evidence that the region ...
