New technology offers unprecedented look at life beneath sea ice in an important ocean region

Rice University scientists use Hawaiian hot spot to study movement of Earth's poles

The crater measures more than 31 km in diameter, corresponding to an area bigger than Paris

Glaciers and ice caps can no longer capture meltwater

Data are dramatically increasing knowledge of how the ocean is melting the ice sheet

“By knowing how this distribution changes seasonally, we can better understand the spatial linkage between ice and water flow," researcher explains

New fossils discovered by Uppsala University palaeontologists record an empty alien world from immediately after the extinction

A study that describes the Earth’s activity below the Greenland Ice Sheet is a valuable contribution to climate science, one expert says

A team of climate scientists made the surprising discovery from three years of data collected at Summit Camp

The study investigated the causes of ice melt during two exceptional melt episodes in 2012, which occurred from July 8 to 11 and from July 27 to 28
