A 30-Year Study Reveals a Hidden Climate Driver Heating Antarctica’s
East Antarctica’s interior is warming at a startling pace, powered by shifting ocean conditions that drive warm air inland. Long overlooked, this icy heart may hold the key to future sea level rise. East Read More
Surging tourism is polluting Antarctica, scientists warn – New Study/Science
Soaring numbers of tourists and expanding research projects are increasingly polluting Antarctica, scientists warned Wednesday, a fresh blow for one of Earth’s most pristine environments already threatened by human-driven climate change. Summary Antarctica faces Read More
Antarctica’s deep canyons shape oceans and climate. High-resolution maps show striking regional differences. Submarine canyons rank among the most striking and complex geological structures on the ocean floor, yet many remain poorly understood, particularly Read More
In a small, refrigerated room at a Brussels university, parka-wearing scientists chop up Antarctic ice cores tens of thousands of years old in search of clues to our planet’s changing climate. Summary Belgian scientists Read More
A major shift is unfolding in the waters around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting much saltier — and fast. This change is allowing deep, hidden heat to rise and melt the Read More
