ANTARCTIC RESEARCH PROJECTS
Ancient stardust frozen in Antarctic ice just revealed where Earth has been in the universeScientists found ancient stardust in Antarctic ice. This dust comes from exploded stars. It shows Earth has traveled through space clouds. ...- These strange pink rocks in Antarctica just revealed a massive hidden granite giant beneath the iceBright pink granite boulders, out of place on Antarctica's volcanic Hudson Mountains, have revealed a colossal granite formation stretching...
- Hidden Antarctic Canyons: The Secret Threat to Coastal Cities You Haven't Heard OfScientists have discovered hundreds of hidden underwater canyons off Antarctica. These vast valleys, carved by sediment flows, are now unde...
- China's new Antarctica expedition to conduct drilling experimentsChina on Saturday launched its 42nd Antarctic expedition to conduct deep drilling experiments aimed at studying the continent’s evolution a...
- China expands presence in Antarctica with its first atmospheric monitoring stationChina has opened its first overseas atmospheric monitoring station in Antarctica. The station will help study concentration changes in the ...
- Antarctica's ‘doomsday glacier’ nearing collapse, scientists warn it's happening sooner than expectedScientists have discovered that Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting rapidly and may be on an irreversible path to collapse, potentiall...
- ‘Doomsday’ glacier set to melt faster, swell seas as world heats upNew research by British and American scientists indicates that tidal action under the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica will accelerate meltin...
- Scientist finds new Antarctic ice sheet melting point. Will it help raise ocean levels and speed up climate change?A recent study reveals a new, alarming mechanism of Antarctic ice sheet melting, which current sea level rise models do not account for. A ...
- Antarctica's record-low sea ice levels made 4 times more likely by global warming: StudyResearchers, led by those at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), using climate datasets and models found that Antarctic sea ice reaching hi...
- Antarctic 'landfast' ice likely to reduce by end of century, important to include it in climate models, say scientistsAlong with documenting a recent dramatic crash in its extent, the first-ever broad review of Antarctic landfast ice highlighted its far-rea...
- Third of Antarctic ice shelf area at collapse risk due to global warmingThe researchers noted that limiting temperature rise to two degrees Celsius rather than four degrees Celsius would halve the area at risk, ...
- Emissions to add 15 inches to global sea level rise by 2100: NASA-led studyGreenland and Antarctica's ice sheets could together contribute more than 38 centimetres to global sea level rise by 2100, if greenhouse ga...
- Antarctica ice melting increased by 280% in last 16 years, study saysThe researchers were able to discern that between 1979 and 1990, Antarctica shed an average of 40 gigatonnes of ice mass annually. From 200...
- China to build first permanent airport at South PoleChinese scientists built a 4-kilometer-long, 50-meter-wide runway for fixed-wing aircraft in 2009 during the 25th expedition in the Antarct...
- Climate change may lead to substantial rise in sea levelUsing state-of-the-art computer modelling, Golledge and his colleagues simulated the ice-sheet's response to a warming climate.
- Climate change may lead to substantial rise in sea level"If we lose these ice shelves, the Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise by 2100 will be nearer 40 centimetres," said Golledge.
- Ancient microbe colonies found living under 800 metres of ice in AntarcticIn a major breakthrough, scientists have finally proved that life exists in a lake buried under half a mile (800 meters) of ice on the west...
- Antarctic winds could accelerate sea level riseChanges in the winds circling Antarctica may accelerate global sea level rise significantly more than previously estimated, a new research ...
- Major Antarctic glacier reached 'tipping point': ScientistsA major Antarctic glacier has passed its "tipping point" and is poised to collapse that could raise global sea levels by 24cm, British scie...
- Major study doubles sea level rise projectionsDays before the Copenhagen climate conference kicks off, a major study by a group of 100 international scientists has said that sea levels ...
