Melting on the Antarctic Ice Sheet for the 2024 to 2025 season began with above average melt extents in all regions, but melt ...

UN weather agency issues ‘red alert’ on climate change after record heat, ice-melt increases in 2023 The U.N. weather agency is sounding a "red alert" about global warming, citing record ...

“Warming temperatures drive melting ice across the globe, and because we’re seeing such high temperatures, it’s not surprising that this year we’re seeing the least amount of ice coverage ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

Scientists have used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to show that melting Antarctic ice sheets could slow the world's strongest ocean currents by flooding it with fresh water.

Researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

open image in gallery Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, according to researchers. An influx of freshwater from the ice sheets could have major implications for the ...

But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current. Our new research suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays a major role in global climate patterns Melting ice sheets would "dump vast quantities of fresh water" into the current, the modelling found. Supplied The ...
