Scientists measure ice rise dynamics over 4 weeks, say it can throw light on how ice flows into ocean

Melting polar ice due to global warming poses an existential threat to humanity.

A geothermal heat source called mantle plume lies deep below Antarctica's Marie Byrd Land, explaining some of the melting that creates lakes and rivers under the ice sheet, a NASA study has found.

Coastal cities around the world could be devastated by 1.3m of sea level rise this century unless coal-generated electricity is virtually eliminated by 2050, according to a new paper that combines

Global warming could have unprecedented consequences for one of the most unknown regions of the planet – the seabed of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Study validates East Antarctic ice sheet to remain stable even if western ice sheet melts

A vortex of air during the summer does the trick, but there are downsides, too

This colourful video tracks the behaviour of the ozone layer over Antarctica across all of 2016.

A new study by scientists at Portland State University and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder has found that the effects of climate change, which ar
