A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke ...

A team of international scientists sets sail Thursday from Britain for Greenland to study its rapidly melting ice using drones, mini-submarines and autonomous swimming robots.They will fly drones ...

Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, suggests a new study in Nature Communications. The reason is that warming oceans appear to be melting Antarctic ice shelves from below much ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected. Deep beneath floating ice shelves, long channels carved into the ice appear to ...

A Cambridge scientist is leading the pioneering study into the impact of melting glaciers on our oceans.

The usual picture of Antarctic ice loss is simple enough: a warmer atmosphere melts more ice, and the oceans rise. This new research argues that the real story is less straightforward, and potentially ...
