A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth ...

Scientists studying ancient ocean sediments discovered a surprising link between the shrinking of West Antarctica’s ice and ...

When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the ...

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

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 ...

Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...

Melting ice in West Antarctica releases unusable iron, weakening the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb CO2. Find out how ...

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are highly vulnerable to global warming and scientists are being increasingly worried about the possibility of large parts of the ice sheets collapsing, if ...
