A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. "The dramatic changes in the Arctic warrant ...

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 ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath the Antarctic ice shelves that are causing aggressive ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

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 ...

“Glaciers tend to suppress the volume of eruptions from the volcanoes beneath them. But as glaciers retreat due to climate change, our findings suggest these volcanoes go on to erupt more frequently ...

For years, researchers have provided contradictory evidence about the “premelting film” of ice, its thickness and whether it ...

This polarized light image shows ice grains deformed in experiments with the ring-shear device in Neal Iverson's Iowa State laboratory. The experiments show that grains, on average, grow about 3 times ...

More than 100 volcanoes lurk beneath the surface in Antarctica. Ice sheet melt could set them off. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works ...
