New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

New research challenges the long-held belief that the Arctic Ocean was covered by a massive ice shelf during ice ages.

For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...

A submersible revealed hidden ice structures under the Antarctic before vanishing, highlighting the complexities of ice shelf melting dynamics.

Scientists at the Australian Antarctic Partnership Program are just beginning to understand the dire effects of extremely low ...

Most people will never see Antarctic sea ice up close, but its presence or absence affects our day-to-day lives.Now ...

Arctic sea ice, not a thick ice shelf like what we observe in Antarctic today (above), shaped the far north for 750,000 years. Photo credit: Matthias Forwick.

Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and 2020, when one-fifth of its associated ice shelf broke off as massive ...
