Collaborate Disseminate
Polar icecap melt has been towards the top of the worry list of the climate-conscious for years. Ocean levels have risen an inch and a half (3.8 cm) in the last decade alone as tens of trillions of gallons of freshwater melt into the oceans each year. … Continue reading 20-story-tall megatsunamis pose a real danger, scientists warn
Geologists have shed new light on Earth’s built-in thermostat. They say shifting tectonic plates that slowed volcanic activity is likely what caused the extreme ice age that turned the planet into a giant snowball over 700 million years ago.Continue Re… Continue reading ‘Double whammy’ CO2 drop linked to Earth’s extreme ice age
A bright red waterfall isn’t something you’d expect to see on the icy landscape of Antarctica, but that’s exactly what’s pouring out from the foot of Taylor Glacier. A team of scientists now claims to have solved the long-standing mystery behind the cr… Continue reading Antarctica’s mysterious Blood Falls aren’t made by minerals after all
A team from the British Antarctic Survey has completed the first map of the ground beneath West Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier, which is the size of Great Britain and could raise global sea levels by 65 cm (25 in) in the coming centuries as it melts.Con… Continue reading Doomsday Glacier map to shed light on future sea levels

A new study by Stanford University suggests that an 80-mile-wide (130-km) stream of ice in the heart of Antarctica’s “doomsday glacier” may expand over the next 20 years, which would increase its ice loss and contribute to sea level rises.Continue Read… Continue reading Widening of “doomsday glacier’s” main ice stream would accelerate ice loss
Scientists have deployed an advanced robotic submarine to gain a new perspective on the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, with the groundbreaking seafloor imagery highlighting its precarious state in concerning new detail. The research reveals the g… Continue reading Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier “hanging on by its fingernails”

Where today we talk broadly of climate change and it’s various effects, the conversation was once simpler. We called it “global warming” and fretted about cooking outside in the summer …read more Continue reading Sea Level Rise From Melting Ice Sheets Could Soon Be Locked In
According to a new study, two of the main glaciers that make up the Antarctic ice sheet are now melting faster than they have over the past 5,500 years. Ironically, the conclusion is based on how sea levels have seemingly dropped in the region over tim… Continue reading Rising beaches suggest Antarctic glaciers are melting faster than ever
