It is no strange sight to see icebergs break off of the Antarctic ice cap and drift away, like the gigantic sheet of ice that ...

Many of us know Antarctica as a land of ice and not much else. But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a landmass that was last exposed 40 million years ago. What does this land ...

It is no strange sight to see icebergs break off of the Antarctic ice cap and drift away, like the gigantic sheet of ice that is currently heading for the island of South Georgia. But climate change ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Arctic glaciers are leaking significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Glacial melt rivers and groundwater springs are transporting large volumes of methane from ...

Dark algae that grow on the surface of Arctic ice sheets are likely to expand their range in the future, a trend that will exacerbate melt, sea level rise and climate warming. “These algae are ...

which is more than double that of the Antarctica Ice Sheet. In Central Europe, think of the Alps, even 39% of the ice mass was lost. Unsurprisingly, the amount of meltwater coming down varies per ...

A new study published in Nature Communications reveals that dark-pigmented microalgae, which contribute to the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, are highly efficient at nutrient uptake and growth, ...

Sea ice is considered as a key indicator of climate change, because it is extremely vulnerable to human-induced warming. However, measuring the thickness of Antarctic sea ice from space is a ...
