The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

A new map reveals where Antarctica is retreating fast, exposing hidden hotspots of grounded ice loss and future sea level ...

Scientists have completed the most detailed map of the land under the frozen ice sheet of Antarctica. This is the third version of this map, and is known as Bedmap3. It has incorporated data from ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

A team of geophysicists has traced the origins of Earth’s most extreme gravitational anomaly, a vast depression beneath ...

Each folio is "devoted to one subject or scientific discipline," and consists of text and illustrative matter. Folio 1. Aeronomical maps for the Antarctic R. Penndorf, T.M. Noel, G.F. Rourke, M.A.

Scientists have drawn up the most accurate map of Antarctica, offering background to the continent’s response to climate ...

A new study shows Antarctica’s biggest ice losses are happening at a few weak coastal gateways where glaciers are retreating inland.

Understanding Antarctica's topography beneath the ice is crucial to predicting ice loss and sea level rise. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...
