Rising temperatures of the world's oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

Hidden beneath the pristine white surface of Antarctica and Greenland lies an invisible crisis. While most people imagine ice melts from the top down when warmed by sun and air, the reality is far ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin ...

The reason we can gracefully glide on an ice-skating rink or clumsily slip on an icy sidewalk is that the surface of ice is ...

A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. "The dramatic changes in the Arctic warrant ...

Antarctica is melting, and crucial details are beginning to come into focus of exactly how it's happening. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the northern hemisphere. The ice sheet has already lost over a trillion tonnes of ...

The Arctic is the "frontline" for climate change, scientists said. If there is any doubt about climate change, look no further than the coldest regions of the planet for proof that the planet is ...
