Glacial retreat caused a wave of volcanic activity in southern Chile as the last Ice Age came to an end, according to new ...

“Failing to account for subglacial water means global sea-level rise projections are underestimated by up to two metres by 2300,” Dr Chen Zhao, an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow at the ...

Before this continent-wide representation of the Antarctic subglacial environment, scientists had to estimate the water's impact, but often this important factor would not be part of projections.

The subglacial lakes of West Antarctica are almost otherworldly and simultaneously grant insight into the possibilities for exoplanet environments while revealing the deep, ...

New analysis suggests a valley stretching the length of Greenland's ice sheet might allow meltwater from the continent's interior to flow hundreds of miles.

Lava flows from the Bardarbunga volcano on August 31, 2014. Reuters. So it seems the greatest threat from Antarctica's many volcanoes will be if several erupt within a few decades of each other.

Feb. 17 (UPI) --Life deep beneath Antarctica's ice sheets may be more common than previously thought. According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, subglacial lakes on ...

Mars is extremely cold, and for subglacial water to exist on the planet in the liquid form, there would have to be a source of heat, such as geothermal energy.

On Earth, subglacial lakes affect the shape of the overlying ice sheet i.e. the surface topography. The water in subglacial lakes lowers friction between the ice sheet and its bed, ...

Local airspace has been closed. — -- An aviation red alert was issued by Iceland today after a volcano started to erupt with lava flowing under nearly 400 to 900 feet of ice. The Iceland ...

Iceland closed airspace over the Bardarbunga volcano as a precaution Saturday after the volcano began erupting under the ice of Europe's largest glacier. Authorities did not shut down airspace ...

Gathering data on the biogeochemistry of these systems is an undertaking of Antarctic proportions. Trista Vick-Majors, assistant professor of Biological Sciences at Michigan Technological University, ...
