A new study suggests Antarctica’s ice sheet hit a climate tipping point about one million years ago, making it far more ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience by researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea shows that the Antarctic ice sheet became ...

Antarctic ice cores revealed a hidden greenhouse effect that explains why some parts of Antarctica warm more dramatically ...

At roughly 425 parts per million, today’s atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration sits nearly 80 percent above the level that, according to new modeling, triggers runaway ice loss in Antarctica. A ...

Scientists found evidence that a profound change in the Antarctic Ocean followed the weakening of the Atlantic.

West Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is on the brink of losing its ice shelf, further compromising the already melting ice ...

A routine peanut planting in northern Florida in 2001 led to a remarkable fossil discovery. Farmers unearthed ancient bones, prompting paleontologists to excavate over 3,000 fossils from more than 40 ...

A new study says Antarctica became far more climate-sensitive after an ancient shift in ice age cycles. The finding suggests small changes could trigger abrupt ice-sheet responses and worsen sea-level ...

For decades, it seemed Antarctica might be insulated from rapid ice melting, but then sea ice began to decline dramatically. Scientists say they have figured out why ...

Below the Antarctic ice lies a treasure trove of minerals, including copper, iron, gold, silver, platinum and cobalt. Warming temperatures due to climate change could unearth these minerals and, in ...
