Scientists may be able to reliably forecast Antarctic ice loss through the middle of this century, offering governments a ...

When one considers the term “Continent of Science,” one may think of an area filled with the presence of universities or other hubs of science or technology. But, within the geographical and science ...

Thirty million years separate the freezing of Antarctica from the glaciation of the Arctic, and for decades that gap made ...

Scientific research in Antarctica has played a key role in many important discoveries of the past century. But it has also come at a considerable cost to the environment. Science in Antarctica is ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Monica Sanders covers climate justice and sustainability from the DMV. In April, I reported on the fight for Antarctica and the ...

Field research in Antarctica is an extended exercise in endurance. Grant approval alone can take more than a year, long enough to grow a beard like one of Ernest Shackleton’s shipwreck survivors. The ...

Ice loss from Antarctica has increased over the recent decades. The ice sheet in this remote continent covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. Even ...

We tend to think Antarctica is isolated and far away — biologically speaking, this is true. But the continent is busier than you probably imagine, with many national programs and tourist operators ...

A new model illustrates how meltwater from the Antarctic ice can trap heat under ice shelves, increasing melting in a feedback loop. A new model developed by Caltech and JPL researchers suggests that ...

A hummingbird shape in satellite data from NISAR is actually a mountaintop spotted in Antarctica.
