A discovery under 2 miles of ice in Antarctica could help solve a geological mystery millions of years oldBuried beneath nearly 2 miles of Antarctic ice, a newly discovered fan-shaped geological structure is changing how scientists understand Ea...
Scientists drilled only 200 meters into Antarctica and uncovered Earth's oldest ice with 6-million-year-old air trapped insideScientists have recovered 6-million-year-old ice from Antarctica. This ice contains air bubbles from Earth's ancient atmosphere. It offers ...
Mosquitoes have finally invaded one of the world's last mosquito-free countriesFor the first time in history, Iceland has recorded wild mosquitoes, ending its long-standing status as a mosquito-free haven. A species kn...
Scientists thought this ancient ice sheet was stable until buried fossils revealed a lost forest beneath AntarcticaScientists discovered fossils revealing Antarctica was once a swampy temperate rainforest. This ancient forest existed around 90 million ye...
What Can Antarctic Ice Tell Us About Climate History?Antarctic ice cores offer a direct window into Earth's past atmosphere, revealing greenhouse gas levels from millennia ago. These frozen ti...
World's strongest ocean current is slowing down rapidly; Scientists warn it could have a scary effect on EarthScientists warn that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is slowing down due to climate change. This could lead to sea level rise and ocean w...
Antarctica's 'doomsday' glacier: How its collapse could trigger global floods and swallow islandsA sea level rise of several metres would inundate many of the world's major cities - including Shanghai, New York, Miami, Tokyo and Mumbai
The ocean currents around the Antarctic are speeding up due to climate changeThe winds around Antarctica blow forever to the east; years of observations have shown these are picking up, driven by a combination of ris...
1.5 degrees Celsius warming cap could 'halve' sea level rise from melting iceSince 1993, melting land ice has contributed to at least half of global sea level rise and scientists have previously warned that the vast ...
Antarctica may drive rapid sea-level rise under climate change: Study
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...
Climate change threatening penguins in Antarctica: StudyContinued warming of Antarctica due to climate change may lead to decline of 60 per cent of Adelie penguin colonies by the end of this cent...
Runaway loss of Antarctic ice may last for centuries: StudySatellite observations show that parts of the Antarctic ice sheet are currently thinning in response to a warming ocean.
- What has stopped Antarctica from warming
The secret to why Antarctica is not warming as much as the other continents, and why Australia faces more droughts lies in strengthening of...
Antarctica was once as warm as Florida, CaliforniaParts of Antarctica, one of the coldest places on Earth, were as warm as today's California coast about 40 million years ago with temperatu...
Global warming 5 million years ago raised sea levels by 20 metresGlobal warming five million years ago may have caused parts of Antarctica's large ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise by approximatel...
Global warming may raise sea levels by more than 2 metres: StudyHalf of that rise might come from ice-loss in Antarctica which is currently contributing less than 10 per cent to global sea-level rise.
