Near Antarctica, Saltier Seas Mean Less Ice, Study Finds
A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ice that have been observed over the past decade, reversing a previous period of growth.
Trump cuts satellite data on Antarctic sea ice just as it’s needed most
Scientists at the Australian Antarctic Partnership Program are just beginning to understand the dire effects of extremely low sea ice in the Antarctic summer, but they will lose access to their main data set at the end of this month.
The latest study shows that severe sea-ice lows, such as those seen in recent years, cause three interrelated crises.
It’s summer in Antarctica. Here’s how to explore responsibly. Small-scale scientific expeditions help balance tourism and preservation in this frozen frontier at the ends of the Earth.
Antarctica’s upcoming summer of 2023 with sunshine 24/7 from October thru February will bring a new season that is especially notable considering the fact that global warming strutted its stuff ...
But with two record lows for Antarctic ice in 2022 and 2023 — and before that a record low in 2017 — it could be that a signal is beginning to emerge, at least in the summer.
In the Antarctic summer, starting in December, the sea ice melts rapidly. Some seas around Antarctica are virtually ice-free by March. Then, as Antarctic winter approaches, the ice begins to ...
New research explores the wide-ranging consequences of record low summer sea ice in Antarctica. From more ocean warming to extra icebergs, it’s bad news we must hear.
