A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before — underneath massive ...

Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us ...

Two decades of satellite and GPS data show the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf slowly losing its grip on a crucial stabilizing ...

Scientists have identified storm-like circulation patterns beneath the Antarctic ice shelves.

Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water ...

A critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks it from collapsing into the sea is breaking up much faster than before and spawning huge ...

Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and ...

When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away ...

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level rise.

An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse, captured ...

The Ross Ice Shelf appears to be melting in previously unknown ways. This is an Inside Science story. Most of the worry over melting ice in Antarctica has focused on the rapidly melting western shore, ...

Massive ice chunks are crumbling away from a shelf in the western Antarctic Peninsula, researchers said Wednesday, warning that 1,300 square miles of ice — an area larger than Rhode Island — was in ...
