2021 Antarctic Ozone Hole 13th-Largest – Will Persist Into November or Even December
The 2021 Antarctic ozone hole reached its maximum area on October 7 and ranks 13th-largest since 1979, scientists from NASA and NOAA reported on October…

As the ice-and-snow rubble known as mélange melts in Antarctica’s ice shelves, rifts can grow and icebergs break off even in the brutal cold of…
Thinning of rift-healing slush is identified as a major cause of iceberg calving events. Glaciologists at the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion…
Earth system scientists at UCI studied air trapped in compacted layers of Antarctic ice and snow to come up with some answers and a few…
Spectacular ice age landscapes beneath the North Sea have been discovered using 3D seismic reflection technology. Similar to MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) the images reveal…
A 170 m (560 ft) record of marine sediment cores extracted from Adélie Land in Antarctica by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme is yielding new…
A new study predicts that any sea level rise in the world’s most southern continent will be countered by an increase in snowfall, associated with…
Climate conditions play a significant role in the reproductive success of mature female Antarctic krill and are a factor in fluctuations of the population that…
Researchers map the geothermal heat flow in West Antarctica; a new potential weak spot in the ice sheet’s stability is identified. Ice losses from Thwaites…
Some past sea levels may not have been as high as thought, says study of rising and sinking landmasses. But even reduced estimates, if applied…
New research from University of Massachusetts Amherst gives clearer picture of mid-Miocene Antarctic ice sheet. Last month saw the average concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide…
A new study from researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) on how the world’s largest ice sheet developed also provides vital clues about climate…
NASA’s ICESat-2 Map Antarctic Meltwater Lakes With Astonishing Precision From above, the Antarctic Ice Sheet might look like a calm, perpetual ice blanket that has…
Detailed observations enable better understanding of future ice shelf stability. A global team of scientists including several from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University…
Ozone is a pollutant at ground level, but very high in the atmosphere’s “ozone layer,” it absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation. Past studies have examined ozone…
In the heart of their Antarctic habitat, krill populations are projected to decline about 30% this century due to widespread negative effects from human-driven climate…
For decades, the ice shelf helping to hold back one of the fastest-moving glaciers in Antarctica has gradually thinned. Analysis of satellite images reveals a…
A study of two methods for reconstructing ancient temperatures has given climate researchers a better understanding of just how cold it was in Antarctica during…
