Vanishing Antarctic sea ice could lead to more storms in the Southern Ocean, new research shows. Scientists found that reduced Antarctic sea ice coverage in 2023 caused the ocean to lose extra heat to the atmosphere. That heat loss could disrupt ocean circulation currents and cause more frequent storms in areas where sea ice coverage […]
A disturbing new video shows 13 years of melt at the Greenland Ice Sheet. The video was stitched together based on NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) satellite data. The video reveals how the edges of the ice sheet are melting more rapidly than the center, particularly at spots where glaciers flow into the sea. […]
