A robotic ocean float that scientists thought was lost under Antarctica’s thick ice has surprisingly resurfaced, bringing ...

Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers ...

There's evidence trapped in ancient ice that during warm periods millions of years ago, the ice-free Southern Ocean responded ...

From global volcanic events to past El Niño circulations to the presence of microbial life, scientists at NCPOR have been ...

Scientists reached Antarctic bedrock after drilling 1.7 miles through more than a million years of ice deposits on the white continent, they announced Jan. 9.

Tens of thousands of years ago, a new study suggests, a warming event led to the release of carbon dioxide from deep in the ...

This undated image shows chunks of ice in the North Cove in Antarctica. (Michael Shortt/British Antarctic Survey via AP) (CN) — A saltier, warmer ocean likely sounds inviting — unless you’re a penguin ...

Antarctic ice loss increased rapidly in past climates when oceans warmed first, raising risks for modern coastlines.

Oxygen isotopes data enable researchers to look far back into the geologic past and reconstruct the climate of the past. In ...

Massive reductions in Antarctic sea ice in recent years has been correlated with more stormy days in the Southern Ocean, and could have implications for vital ocean currents. When you purchase through ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...
