If it gets stuck near South Georgia Island, that could make it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young ...

The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins ...

Beneath Antarctica's ice, an unsuspected danger looms. Global warming could awaken dormant volcanoes, triggering a chain reaction with unpredictable consequences. This recent discovery sheds light on ...

Anthony Brereton recorded three goals and three assists to help Christian Brothers, No. 2 in the NJ.com Top 20, down Wall 13-3 at Jersey Shore Arena in Wall Township. Christian Brothers (14-2 ...

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...

Sadly, the melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet shows no sign of slowing, in fact, due to a process known as the ice-albedo feedback—when less reflective ice surface decreases solar reflectance ...

The core was by an international team of scientists collected as part of the Beyond EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Oldest-Ice project. It came from the area of the Antarctic ...

New research has revealed a key link between melting Antarctic ice and increased volcanic activity, raising concerns about long-term impacts on global sea levels, the Daily Mail reports.

The West Antarctic Rift System is home to over 130 volcanoes ... “One such example is that eruptions proximate to surface ice will promote ice melting. In turn, the crustal unloading associated with ...

Antarctic scientists have extracted what is believed to be the world's oldest ice. The international team successfully drilled a 2.8-kilometer-long ice core, reaching the bedrock beneath the ...
