Scientists testing a popular climate theory in Antarctica found that melting glaciers deliver far less iron to the ocean than ...

New study shows melting Antarctic ice adds only a small amount of iron to the ocean. Most iron comes from deep water and sea floor sediments.

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica ...

Huge numbers of Emperor penguins in Antarctica may have died because of melting sea ice, experts fear. For the first time, scientists have used satellites to spot the places where ...

For scientists who study the Southern Ocean, a long-standing silver lining in the gloomy forecast of climate change has been ...

Antarctica has lost enough ice over the last 30 years to cover the City of Los Angeles area 10 times over, according to new ...

Rutgers scientists found Antarctic glacier meltwater supplies far less iron than assumed, challenging a key theory on natural carbon dioxide removal.

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 ...

Antarctic ice is melting. But exactly which forces are causing it to melt and how melting will influence sea level rise are areas of active research. Understanding the decay of ice shelves, which ...

Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water that attack the ice from below. These secretive currents, spinning in the ...

Strange structures found lurking beneath Antarctic ice ...
