Antarctica is losing ice mass to the ocean, contributing to global sea level rise. But a popular video misrepresented work focused on Antarctic ice shelves — which float in the sea at the edges ...
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 ...
The so-called “doomsday” ice sheet of Antarctica – the Thwaites Glacier – is melting faster than previously believed, one of several recent changes in ice formation throughout the southern ...
Antarctica is like no other place on the planet. It is unique. It’s just this vast expanse of snow and ice and mountains and glaciers and ocean. It's otherworldly. It's so separated from the ...
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.
Scientists investigate rapid Antarctic ice loss since 2016, attributed to warming and wind changes. The impact on global warming, ecosystem, and ice stability raises concerns. Uncertainty persists ...
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 ...
We thought we broadly understood how planets and stars form. But the discovery of dozens of pairs of young planets in a nearby nebula threatens to turn that on its head. They are worlds that ...
June 7, 2024 — A research team has found a de-icing mixture with high effectiveness and low environmental impact after using machine learning to analyze ice melting mechanisms of aqueous ...
The world’s largest hummingbird has been hiding in plain sight for centuries — and scientists only discovered the species is distinct from another giant species after attaching tiny backpacks ...
