Runaway W. Antarctic ice sheet collapse not ‘inevitable’: study

The runaway collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—which would trigger catastrophic sea level rise—is not "inevitable", scientists said Monday following research that tracked...

New study shows ‘self-cleaning’ of marine atmosphere

Scientists have shed new light on the "self-cleaning" capacity of the atmosphere. This process of self-cleaning is essential to remove gaseous pollutants and regulate greenhouse...

Study: Two-thirds of glaciers on track to disappear by 2100

The world's glaciers are shrinking and disappearing faster than scientists thought, with two-thirds of them projected to melt out of existence by the end...

Study identifies new cause of melting Antarctic ice shelves

Researchers have discovered a process that can contribute to the melting of ice shelves in the Antarctic. An international team of scientists found that adjacent...

New study says left-over planetesimals, not asteroids, created the moon’s largest craters

The moon's pock-marked surface tells the story of its history. It's marked by over 9,000 impact craters, according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU.)...

Study shows mountain glacier melting is linked to shifting westerlies and likely to accelerate

The combination of global atmospheric warming and westerly winds shifting toward the poles will likely speed up the recession of mountain glaciers in both...

Study reveals atmosphere-driven glacier mass loss changes at Urumqi Glacier

Glacier mass balance is one of the most important parameters characterizing glacier changes. However, the scarcity of glacier mass balance and meteorological data in...

Study shows that strongest Arctic cyclone on record led to surprising loss of sea ice

A warming climate is causing a decline in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where loss of sea ice has important ecological, economic and...

Oldest planetary debris in our galaxy found in new study

Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have identified the oldest star in our galaxy that is accreting debris from orbiting planetesimals, making it...

Earth’s warming hole not indication of abrupt climate change event, study finds

A new study from scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science suggests that the pattern of...

Study reveals new insights into how fast-moving glaciers may contribute to sea level rise

Climate change is resulting in sea level rise as ice on land melts and oceans expand. How much and how fast sea levels will...

Refreezing Earth’s poles feasible and cheap, new study finds

The poles are warming several times faster than the global average, causing record smashing heatwaves that were reported earlier this year in both the...
