New research reveals the importance of winter sea ice in the year-to-year variability of the amount of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by a region of the Southern Ocean.

More NASA satellites looked down on huge cracks forming in sea ice in Canada's far north. What is it? The Amundsen Gulf is named after Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer who, in the early 1900s ...

A breakthrough study has uncovered that the Southern Ocean's power to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere fluctuates dramatically depending on winter sea ice. When sea ice lingers longer into ...

When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet. Like the moon, the gravity of the ice sheets ...

New research reveals the importance of winter sea ice in the year-to-year variability of the amount of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by a region of the Southern Ocean. In years when sea ice lasts ...

Science New Climate Study Highlights Dire Sea Level Warnings To learn about how polar ice sheets melted during an ancient era, scientists examined fossil coral reefs in the tropics.

The BAS team concluded that changes in all three species are strongly linked to shifts in sea ice, when it forms and melts each year, and how long it lasts. The new results, which have been ...

An elusive deep-sea squid species was caught on camera for the first time ever in a major breakthrough. National Geographic, on June 10, revealed the "history-making sighting" of a massive, three ...
