While snapping photos of the surface of Mars in 2011, the HiRISE instrument aboard the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted a very unusual feature. On Pavonis Mons – a large shield ...
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier – nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” – is feared to be more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, with implications for low-lying areas as far away ...
At the bottom of the Earth sits a massive bowl of ice you may know as the West Antarctic ice sheet. Each day, the ocean laps away at its base, slowly eroding the glaciers that line its rim.
Of all the polar regions, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is the most sensitive to a warming ocean due to climate change. This is already causing a long-term ice sheet melt, and the question is how ...
A study released this week added new fears to the fate of an important glacier in Antarctica and its impact on sea-level rise. The Thwaites Glacier on the vast West Antarctica Ice Sheet is ...
The massive "doomsday glacier" known for its rapid destabilization is undergoing a "vigorous ice melt" that scientists say could reshape sea level rise projections. In a new study, glaciologists ...
The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is one of the ocean's biggest mysteries. There are no photographs and no footage of a living colossal squid in its natural habitat. What we do know ...
Archaeologists have discovered one of the world’s largest collections of ancient art, showing giants and monsters walking the Earth. In a remote area of South America, a British-led research ...
A team of scientists say seawater flowing underneath and into gaps in the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is contributing to the melting of the massive ice formation — a potentially ominous sign ...
A murder at a retirement village solved by the residents? Sounds like a great plot for a mystery book. Several murders at a retirement village solved by the residents? Even better. These plots ...
