The rapid climate change we are experiencing today is mainly driven by the greenhouse gases we humans keep releasing into the air. But new evidence from ancient Antarctic ice cores suggests this ...

As the planet continues to warm, the world is losing 273 billion tonnes of glacial ice every year, and scientists are scrambling to preserve the climate data locked within these glaciers. On Wednesday ...

Ice cores taken from glaciers reveal the air pollution of the past, using atmospheric particles incorporated in snow that fell on the glacier and became ice. Now, scientists have extracted a record of ...

Representing the longest continuous record of the Earth’s climate, the giant ice core may soon unlock some much-wanted data into Earth's climate history. Reading time 3 minutes Antarctic ice cores are ...

On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the coolest library on Earth was inaugurated at the Concordia station, Antarctica. Samples from glaciers rescued worldwide are now beginning to be stored there for ...

Ice cores serve as time‐resolved archives of past atmospheric composition, preserving chemical species deposited through snow accumulation and atmospheric transport. Analyses of ions, trace elements ...

Circumpolar Deep Water inflow onto Antarctica’s continental shelves is a key driver of accelerated Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss, both presently and during the last deglaciation. However, the ...
