Satellite observations have documented a pronounced decline in Antarctic sea ice extent since 2014, with especially sharp ...

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline. Since 2015, Antarctica has lost sea ice equal to the ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers said Monday. An influx of fresh water from ...

Can technology save the poles? A new study says no - five proposed fixes to halt polar ice melt fail on cost, risk, and ...

The AMOC is driven, by differences in water temperatures and salinity, but climate change could disrupt that balance.

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, ...

Antarctica has long been seen as a remote, unchanging environment. Not any more. The ice-covered continent and the surrounding Southern Ocean are undergoing abrupt and alarming changes. Sea ice is ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new joint study from the University of Gothenburg and the German Alfred ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

Combining ice with salt makes the electrical charge exponentially stronger. It could be a useful power source for a more ...
