New study shows melting Antarctic ice adds only a small amount of iron to the ocean. Most iron comes from deep water and sea floor sediments.

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using ...

Antarctica has lost enough ice over the last 30 years to cover the City of Los Angeles area 10 times over, according to new ...

Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on ...

NASA satellites detected a phytoplankton bloom around Antarctic iceberg A-23A as it melted, showing how icebergs can fertilize the ocean.

A study published Monday finds parts of Antarctica's ice shelves are expected to melt in the coming years, no matter how much progress is made to slash greenhouse emissions and mitigate global warming ...

In recent months, headlines about Antarctica’s ice loss have circulated widely. One claim says the continent has lost an area ...

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica ...

While the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is expected to slow or even collapse the Atlantic Ocean current that keeps Europe warm, meltwater from West Antarctica could preserve this vital current.

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn. A new study suggests the melting of ...

GENEVA – Glaciers in Antarctica are melting faster and across a much wider area than previously thought, a development that threatens to raise sea levels worldwide and force millions of people to flee ...
