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.
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.
