This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

The research, called Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface Interaction Experiment (ARCSIX), measures how aerosols interact with sea ice. One of the mission leaders spoke to WBZ-TV about why this ...

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 ...
