When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...
When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical ...
Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...
Some people swear by coffee grounds as an effective solution for melting winter ice on the, well, ground. But does science ...
US-Italy researchers have used quantum-mechanical simulations to resolve a decades-old puzzle about how ultraviolet ...
Melting polar ice is unleashing stronger, faster currents, reshaping heat flow, nutrient pathways, and microplastic movement ...
Fast-moving ocean motions under the Antarctic ice act like storms and melt ice quickly. These forces could speed up sea-level ...
If the ice blanketing Antarctica were to vanish, the world’s shorelines would be redrawn so radically that some countries would simply cease to exist. Entire coastal megacities would be abandoned, new ...
Gemma O’Connor, a UW post-doctorate in the School of Oceanography, approached a relatively common scientific belief that ice sheet decline in western Antarctica was driven by westerly winds. By proxy, ...
Small icy moons in the outer reaches of our solar system may hide boiling oceans underneath their surfaces, a new study finds ...

Weather Wednesday: Ice Fishing

This simple ice-fishing-style experiment helps explain the science behind winter lakes, no actual fishing pole required!
