When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

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 ...

There are several frozen moons in our solar system, orbiting the gas giants. Some of them, despite having temperatures that would make Antarctica feel tropical, have liquid water under the surface.

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the Abdus Salam ...

Simulations show that subsurface oceans on small moons may hit boiling conditions, potentially creating features like Miranda’s distinctive ridges.

Tia here with news that a trial of the pill form of the GLP-1 drug semaglutide has failed to delay Alzheimer's progression in ...

You know that slightly smug feeling you get in the fall when your garden still looks fantastic while everyone else’s plants ...

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 ...

The so-called ionocaloric effect is also reversible. Removing ions from a system can heat it up. This phenomenon could ...

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

US-Italy researchers have used quantum-mechanical simulations to resolve a decades-old puzzle about how ultraviolet ...
