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

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

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

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

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

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

In that moderate emissions scenario, we found the highest sea-level rise from Antarctic ice melt alone, up to 5 feet (1.5 ...

Nearly two decades ago, an experiment floating high above Antarctica caught a weird signal. The balloon-borne suite of instruments recorded a similar event in 2014, and scientists have been scratching ...

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

Beneath Antarctica's vast expanse of ice sit hundreds of canyons, some up to tens of thousands of feet deep. These complex formations under a seemingly barren landscape play a significant role in ...
