Beneath the world’s vast and icy glaciers, where sunlight never reaches and only the bravest scientists dare to venture, lie ...

The research team, which included postdoctoral scholar Amy Holt and Professor Robert Spencer from the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science, examined the molecular makeup of organic ...

Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across.

Subglacial water, defined as meltwater that interacts with underlying bedrock and groundwater beneath the glacier, also impacts water chemistry near the glaciers. Trace and major element ...

"We expected to see some methane in the meltwater, but the concentrations we measured were surprisingly high," Kleber explained. "Our isotopic analysis showed that this methane is geologic in origin ...

The rate of ice melting in Antarctica could be underestimated by current scientific models, according to research examining the role of subglacial water flows.

Beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet lies a hidden network of lakes and rivers formed by surface meltwater and frictional melting at the glacier base. This subglacial water acts as a lubricant, ...

These subglacial lakes can influence ice sheet movements, potentially affecting global sea levels. Meltwater from these lakes may act as a lubricant, hastening the flow of ice into the ocean and ...

Meltwater pouring off the Antarctic ice shelves is projected to dilute salty ocean water and disrupt the flow of one of the world’s most reliable and important ocean currents. “The Southern ...

In 2022, media analysis company Meltwater found many of the emojis people add alongside posts about sharks are positive, including blue hearts and dolphins.

A new study found parts of Antartica could pass a tipping point for mass ice sheet losses as soon as 2050 – pushing sea ...
