A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, at ...

As glaciers melt, they can also increase the risk of deadly floods and landslides. A glacial collapse in Switzerland this ...

Antarctica is the world's great cooling unit. This vital part of Earth's climate system is largely powered by the annual ...

Abstract: High-resolution aerial photographs of Arctic region are a great source for different sea ice feature recognition, which are crucial to validate, tune, and improve climate models. Melt ponds ...

A research team discovered that subglacial water could triple the amount of ice flowing to the ocean and intensify sea level rise — among the effects that they called "deeply concerning." Researchers ...

Heat in the oceans and atmosphere is also driving melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, which together hold enough fresh water to raise global sea levels by around 213 feet.

A surprising surge in snowfall from 2021 to 2023 caused Antarctica to gain record amounts of ice, reversing 20 years of steady melting. This slowed global sea level rise by nearly 15% and sparked ...

Arctic sea ice has diminished in extent and thickness over the half-century in which satellite observations have been made. Annual summer melt has become more extensive, leaving far wider areas of the ...

The melting ice caps, with their cumulative surface ... The disappearance of sea ice changes the color of the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. This could have "considerable" consequences for certain ...

So, by measuring abundances of thallium isotopes in ancient shales, Chen’s team aimed to find evidence of deep, regional oxygenation in the sea. The thallium record revealed that the ocean ...
