"We found that the Southern Ocean cooling trend is actually a response to global warming, which accelerates ice sheet melting and local precipitation," said Earle Wilson, an assistant professor of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the ocean’s salt levels, potentially disrupting the vital Antarctic Circumpolar Current, with profound global consequences. Flowing clockwise around ...

An influx of fresh water from the melting sheets is changing the properties of the ocean and its circulation patterns, altering the water’s salinity which determines the density of the water.

Saul Luciano Lliuya Peru is home to nearly 70% of the world’s tropical glaciers, considered at high risk due to being constantly near or at melting temperature. They play a key role in water ...

In their analysis, the scientists found that glacial melt rivers and groundwater springs release large volumes of methane from beneath the ice to the atmosphere. “This previously unrecognised process ...

Consequently, snow, glaciers, and permafrost are melting—all of which are contributing to coastal run-off plumes. The run-off plumes change water parameters drastically as large volumes of fresh ...

Greater international attention is shifting to a melting island in the North Atlantic. The lodes of graphite, copper, and other valuable deposits, which the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources ...

The water from melting glaciers is finding its way into the world's oceans to become the second biggest contributor to sea level rise after warming ocean temperatures, which causes water to expand.
