Scientists research deep-sea hydrothermal vents, find carbon-removing properties

Hydrothermal vents are hotspots of activity on the otherwise dark, cold ocean floor. Since their discovery, scientists have been intrigued by these deep ocean…

Local destabilization can cause complete loss of West Antarctica’s ice masses

The new publication for the first time shows the inevitable consequence of such an event. According to the computer simulations, a few decades of ocean warming…

Less ice, more water in Arctic Ocean by 2050s

“We hear all the time about how sea ice extent in the Arctic is going down,” says Katy Barnhart, who led the study while at CU-Boulder's Institute for Arctic…

Uncovering the secrets of ice that burns

Methane hydrates are a kind of ice that contains methane, and that form at certain depths under the sea or buried in permafrost. They can also form in…

NASA study: Mass gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet greater than losses

The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that…

Land-facing, southwest Greenland Ice Sheet movement decreasing

Researchers derived their results by tracking ice sheet movement through Landsat satellite images taken from 1985 to 2014 across a roughly 3,088-square-mile…
