By determining which ice sheets melted to create a colossal increase in sea levels 14,500 years ago, scientists hope to ...

A major ocean current in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre, is changing rapidly due to climate warming—and this could trigger a ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new study. As a result, the North Atlantic could be flooded with ...

Beneath its frozen surface sits a solid continent of mountains ... and regions where the floating ice shelves push out over the ocean at the continent’s edge. Many of the map's improvements are thanks ...

Pluto's surface, fitting for a world whose surface shivers at a cryogenic -364 F (-220 C), is frozen solid. But beneath that nitrogen ice may lie a subsurface ocean of liquid water. A recent study ...

With much of it covered in ice all year round and with no daylight from October to March, the Arctic Ocean is one of the ... levels (salt leaches out of ice over time) is almost definitely first ...

Researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

A research group led by Associate Professor Kohei Mizobata, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, including ...

“We’ve known for some time that ice sheet melting will impact ocean circulation over the next century and beyond,” Wilson said. “Our results provide new evidence that these meltwater ...
