The only bugs in Antarctica are already eating microplastics
Microplastics are, it seems, everywhere. They’ve been found at the top of the highest mountains, and at the bottom of the sea ...
The ice caps which cover our planet's poles are key to understanding global weather patterns and changing climate. But we still don't have a complete understanding of how they work, and what goes on ...
A portion of the world's iciest, coldest continent is "greening" at a dramatic rate because of global warming, scientists announced in a recent study. In fact, the research showed that vegetation ...
Hidden beneath the thick, frozen skin of East Antarctica lies a surprising discovery—ancient river-carved landscapes that may hold the key to understanding how the vast ice sheet will behave as the ...
The first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability. When ...
It was five years ago this month that ESA’s GOCE gravity-mapping satellite finally gave way to gravity, but its results are still yielding buried treasure – giving a new view of the remnants of lost ...
A new university-led study with NASA participation finds ancient Antarctica was much warmer and wetter than previously suspected. The climate was suitable to support substantial vegetation — including ...
