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

A new map of Antarctica’s seafloor reveals a vast and previously overlooked network of 332 submarine canyons, some plunging more than 4,000 meters. The findings provide an unprecedented view into how ...

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

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

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

In Antarctica, beneath the ice, there is liquid water—and potentially a lot of it. That’s the takeaway from new research that ...

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

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

Paola Santiago Padua, a native of Toa Baja and a doctoral candidate in California, aims to return to Puerto Rico to study the ...

It's an incredible feat of engineering. The post This Peek Under an Antarctic Base Is Absolutely Wild appeared first on ...

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

The Polar Star is making the trip as part of Operation Deep Freeze, the annual resupply of U.S. outposts under the U.S.
