About 700 million years ago, Earth froze over so completely that even tropical oceans turned to ice, an episode scientists ...

New research shows melting Arctic sea ice could be reshaping India’s monsoon, shifting heavier August and September rains westward.

On decadal timescales, the loss of Arctic ice favors the climate of the south-west of the United States -- and California in particular -- becoming drier on average, especially in winter. This ...

Arctic sea ice has experienced a dramatic slowdown in its rate of decline over the past two decades, defying expectations despite continued global warming. While overall ice levels remain far below ...

Northeast Greenland is home to the 79 N Glacier -- the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming: warm water from the Atlantic is melting it from ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater pouring off the Antarctic ice sheet may be reorganizing the planet’s ocean ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015, the frozen continent has lost sea ice similar to the size of Greenland.

“Our finding that enhanced melting of Arctic sea-ice likely resulted in significant cooling in northern Europe in the earth’s past is alarming,” says Mohamed Ezat from the iC3 Polar Research Hub, lead ...
