Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most ...

UC Irvine & NASA researchers have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing ...

As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is ...

A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored ...

Discover how subsurface ocean "storms" are responsible for significant melting of the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers.

Antarctica has moved to “the front of the line” as a global warming threat that’s already well beyond expectations, and it’s ...

UC Irvine and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory researchers found that small, short-term eddies and vortices push warm water beneath Antarctica’s glaciers, causing aggressive melting. Ocean storms and ...
