Antarctica holds so much frozen water that if it vanished overnight, the shape of the planet’s coasts, climate and oceans ...

BOSTON – Why is sea ice continuing to melt in the Arctic? NASA researchers are aiming to find out as they just wrapped up a never-before-done experiment. The research, called Arctic ...

For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us ...

Antarctica is melting, and crucial details are beginning to come into focus of exactly how it's happening. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Climate change is thinning Arctic sea ice, but contrary to conventional wisdom that’s making shipping through the North American Arctic more difficult. A study published in Nature looked ...

For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The team shows that ice can remain slippery near minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

Josep Bonsoms receives postdoctoral funding from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (PRE2021-097046) and from ANTALP via the Government of Catalonia (2017-SGR-1102).

Melting glaciers could make volcanic eruptions more explosive and frequent, worsening climate change in the process, scientists have warned. Hundreds of volcanoes in Antarctica, Russia, New Zealand, ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...
