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

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

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 ...
