The IBCAO 4.0 bathymetric chart also reveals the detailed map of the Greenland fiords, and provides data of interest for the development of predictive models on the behaviour of the ice sheet ...

At the center of Greenland, where the planet’s largest ice sheet pours down into the Arctic air, a weather station recently ...

For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ice ages. Now, a new study published in Science Advances challenges this ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor ...

As Arctic ocean ice retreats, the newly exposed surface water, which has lost its insulating layer of ice, now comes in direct contact with the colder airmass above it. This lowers the temperature ...

Researchers recently analyzed fossils taken from the center of the Greenland ice sheet, widely considered to be the largest annual contributor of water into the ocean. The fossils were found to ...

Melting at the interface between ice sheets and the ocean in the Arctic is much more extensive than previously estimated, according to a study published Monday in Proceedings of the National ...

Martin Jeffries of the U.S. National Science Foundation and University of Alaska Fairbanks said in a statement Tuesday that the summer's ice shelf loss is equivalent to over three times the area of ...

Perini said she still hasn’t seen the viruses under a microscope, but knows they’re on the ice sheet by analyzing all the DNA from samples and finding sequences that belong to giant viruses.

A new study challenges the long-debated theory that a massive, kilometre-thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean. By analysing ocean sediments and running advanced climate models ...

Melting Arctic ice bolstering North Atlantic Ocean currents, for now by Charles Blue, Phys.org edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' notes ...
