Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica ...

The discovery offers new insights into how ecosystems function beneath floating sections of the Antarctic ice sheet. Scientists still do not have a precise idea how these ecosystems, covered by ...

When the crew aboard an ocean science expedition learned that an iceberg the size of Chicago had broken off from an Antarctic ice shelf, they knew they had to stop what they were doing immediately ...

Kharagpur: New research on climate change published in ‘Communications Earth & Environment' — a peer-reviewed, open-access, ...

Antarctic sea ice has again fallen to a near-record low as a new study shows the system is undergoing a significant "structural change". Scientists have been using satellite images over the past ...

In the last few years, Antarctic sea ice has been behaving erratically. Sea ice cover has been much more variable than it used to be, with anomalies lasting much longer than previously documented.

Using satellite data, climate model simulations, and observational analysis, the researchers were able to trace the role of tropical atmospheric influences in recent ice shelf melt trends.
