Scientists succeeded in thickening and lightening Arctic ice using seawater in an innovative climate experiment.

For decades, a vast ring of sea ice around Antarctica acted as a planetary cooling system, reflecting sunlight back into ...

Using old satellite radar techniques, scientists have developed a new way of measuring the true extent of an understudied and ...

Two companies are aiming to preserve Arctic ice by pumping water onto the sheet and letting it freeze, but only one of the ...

A new study reveals that Arctic sea ice loss is depleting a key ocean nutrient, threatening plankton, marine life, and food webs ...

Researchers have warned that the Thwaites Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the world, is about to lose its eastern ice ...
