To gain a clearer picture of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf's future, Steiger analyzed water temperature and velocity data from 2017 to 2021. The data were captured by sensors attached to bottom ...

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

The warmer water was not carried on the surface of the ocean but deep in the water column. This warmer water may have reached the ice shelf where it is grounded on the sea floor.

The colossal iceberg known as A23a has been slowly spinning in one spot of the Southern Ocean since April. Here’s what experts have to say on the phenomenon.

Previous understanding of surface-water intrusions has come mainly from comparisons of hydrography in open water, for example from ships, observations from tagged seals, and ice moorings deployed ...

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame? When you purchase through links on ...

Norway’s access applies only to the seabed, not the water column or surface waters above the continental shelf. Guillemots flying in the Svalbard and Jan Mayen region, a vulnerable area. Image ...

Large quantities of carbon are stored across the environment as naturally-occurring dissolved organic matter. In the ocean, this organic carbon has an average age of thousands of years, but ...

Arctic Ocean was covered by kilometre-thick ice shelf and filled entirely with freshwater, ‘surprising’ new evidence reveals. Extensive glaciation and lower sea levels cut off Arctic from ...

But trawling stirs them up, releasing the stored carbon back into the water column. Some of this material falls back to the seafloor and gets tamped back down again.
