When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the processes underlying these wave-induced ice fractures and predicting when ...

New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the consequential region.

Large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible and happening at a rapid rate, and now a new international ...

Greenland, which has been prominently in the news in recent days, hosts a vast ice sheet. If it melts, it will become one of ...

A recent study shows that there is a lot more sediment trapped beneath Greenland’s ice sheet than we realized, which could ...

Scientists have discovered there is more to Antarctica than meets the eye. A new map of the landscape beneath the frozen ...

When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.

Ancient sediment pulled from nearly a mile below the Greenland ice sheet — and later stored for roughly two decades at UB, whose researchers are still studying it today — is the focus of a new film.

Headlines about melting ice sheets usually focus on what is lost and then move on. What comes next is often overlooked, even though it matters just as much. A new study of East Antarctica reaches back ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Scientists have devised the most detailed map to date of the terrain hidden below the vast ice ...
