A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s ...

If the theory is proven correct, the consequences could be enormous, spelling a much more risky, explosive future.

Antarctica holds so much frozen water that if it vanished overnight, the shape of the planet’s coasts, climate and oceans ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

Dartmouth oceanographer Yoshihiro Nakayama created a high-resolution model to study the melting of two glaciers in western ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The geoengineering experiment sought to use tiny silica beads to reflect sunlight away from Earth. A geoengineering project that was testing a novel way of cooling the planet has come to an end amid ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The ...
