Geologists Stumble on an Alien-Like Landscape Beneath Antarctica’s Ice –
Hidden landscapes under Antarctic ice may slow glacier flow. These ancient surfaces could change how we predict sea-level rise. Scientists have identified remnants of ancient landscapes in East Antarctica that are believed to have been Read More
12,000-Year-Old Ice Core From Mont Blanc Rewrites Europe’s Climate Story
High in the French Alps, scientists have uncovered a frozen archive that reaches back more than 12,000 years — the oldest known ice in Western Europe. This ancient glacier core contains a remarkably detailed record of past 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
Glaciers hold layers of history preserved in ice, offering unique insights into Earth’s past that can also help us interpret the future. Trapped amidst the frozen water are microscopic deposits of dust, pollen, and Read More
Evidence of algae growth and climate simulations reveal the Arctic had seasonal ice, not a permanent ice shelf, for much of the past 750,000 years. These insights challenge long-standing theories. For a long time, researchers have Read More
A mysterious, ice-rich comet named 3I/ATLAS has entered our solar system — and it may be the oldest comet ever observed. Estimated to be over 7 billion years old, this interstellar visitor likely originated from the Read More
NASA is gearing up for a bold new era of lunar exploration with three advanced instruments set to investigate the Moon’s surface and subsurface. Two will ride aboard the upcoming Lunar Terrain Vehicle—an Read More
Scientists have uncovered a hidden structure inside the Universe’s most common ice—found on comets, moons, and interstellar dust—challenging decades of belief. What was thought to be shapeless, “amorphous” ice is actually embedded 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
