Three consecutive extremely low sea ice summers strengthens the case for a new regime in Antarctic sea ice.
A suite of tools is helping scientists “taste” the properties of Antarctica’s Southern Ocean to better-understand why more heat is seeping towards the icy continent.
Monash University’s Amelia Pearson has set sail with a team of scientists who want to find out why Earth’s strongest current is “leaking” more heat towards Antarctica.
Sea ice around Antarctica has always followed a predictable seasonal cycle. Now, we’ve experienced a sudden dramatic loss, and the changes are here to stay.
From the hottest global average day, to the highest average sea surface temperature and the lowest Antarctic sea ice extent – here’s why so many climate records are breaking, all at once.
The Antarctic ice sheet has advanced and retreated over the past 10,000 years. It holds stark warnings, and possibly some hope, for the future.
A new report on the continent emphasises the need for urgent action, and makes recommendations that aim to help set the climate change agenda for the region for years to come.
Mapping the previous melting of glaciers in the Antarctic is helping researchers predict what lies ahead for the ice giants – and the wider consequences.
Will the icy wilderness we know today survive, or will it succumb to climate change and human pressure? Our choices over the coming decade will seal its fate.
