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

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

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles.

When volcanic eruptions make headlines, the images often depict fiery lava and towering ash clouds. But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath the Antarctic ice shelves that are causing aggressive ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...

An international research team is surveying a water conduit beneath the surface of the ice shelf in Antarctica. The conduit forms as the ice melts. The melting is accelerated by the upwelling water ...
