Antarctic fish have adapted over millennia to survive in the freezing temperatures of the Southern Ocean. However, in doing so, they have lost their ability…
Special shell protects Antarctic scallop from ice build-up. Airplane wings that don’t ice up or solar cells that generate electricity even in winter – ice-free…
AWI experts confirm the delayed spread of the ice sheet 35 million years ago. Roughly 35 million years ago, Earth cooled rapidly. At roughly the…
Discrepancy between terrestrial and marine data resolved; shows that ice sheets vulnerable to small CO2 fluctuations. New research led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst…
AWI study provides the basis for reliable projections of the impacts of climate change in the Antarctic. Despite global warming and the sea-ice loss in…
In July 2017, a giant iceberg, named A-68, snapped off Antarctica’s Larsen-C ice shelf and began an epic journey across the Southern Ocean. Three and…
Argonne physicists say cold, dry is perfect for examining the oldest light in the universe. When your workplace is the South Pole, things can get…
Scientists monitoring the giant A68A Antarctic iceberg from space reveal that a huge amount of fresh water was released as it melted around the sub-Antarctic…
Researchers reporting in the journal Current Biology on January 13, 2022, have discovered a massive breeding colony of notothenioid icefish in Antarctica’s southern Weddell Sea….
Researchers detect around 60 million nests of Antarctic icefish over a 240 square kilometers area in the Weddell Sea. Near the Filchner Ice Shelf in…
Marine life hitching a ride on ocean-crossing ships poses a threat to Antarctica’s pristine ecosystems, with the potential for invasive species to arrive from almost…
Glacial erosion likely caused atmospheric oxygen levels to dip over past 800,000 years. An unknown culprit has been removing oxygen from our atmosphere for at…
Oceanographers have great difficulty conducting investigations by ship in Antarctic continental shelf areas where ice is attached to the shore, so a team of researchers…
The massive Thwaites glacier in West Antarctica contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 65cm if it were to completely collapse. And, worryingly,…
Scientists predict that continued global warming under current trends could lead to an elevation of the sea level by as much as five meters by…
Ice sheet’s demise poses the biggest threat for sea-level rise this century. Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier, sometimes referred to as the Doomsday Glacier, is retreating rapidly…
Applications are now open for the role of ESA-sponsored research medical doctor at Concordia research station in Antarctica for the 2023 winter over season. Do…
