Bacteria discovery aids food production, water purification
The search for a type of bacteria that creates better ice cream and artificial snow has suddenly become a lot easier, thanks to a discovery by Queen's University biologist Virginia Walker. view more (2006-10-02)
A warming climate can support glacial ice
New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events. view more (2008-01-11)
Genes hold secret of survival of Antarctic 'antifreeze fish'
A genetic study of a fish that lives in the icy waters off Antarctica sheds light on the adaptations that enable it to survive in one of the harshest environments on the planet. view more (2008-10-17)
'New' ancient Antarctic sediment reveals climate change history
Recent additions to the premier collection of Southern Ocean sediment cores at Florida State University's Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility will give international scientists a close-up look at fluctuations that occurred in Antarctica's ice sheet and marine and terrestrial life as the climate cooled considerably between 20 and 14 million... view more...

Map characterizes active lakes below Antarctic ice
Lakes in Antarctica, concealed under miles of ice, require scientists to come up with creative ways to identify and analyze these hidden features. view more (2009-09-02)
Texas researchers and educators head for Antarctica
It's been more than 100 years since anyone has journeyed to this section of Antarctica's Amundsen Sea, but that is about to change. view more (2007-08-16)
Sea level on the rise - in real and virtual worlds
The climate system, and in particular sea level, may be responding more quickly to rising carbon emissions than climate scientists have estimated with climate models. view more (2007-02-05)
By airship to the North Pole — Zeppelin expedition will survey sea ice in the Arctic
In 2008, scientists will, for the very first time, create a continual profile of ice thickness in the Artic, extending from the Canadian coast across the North Pole to Siberia. view more (2007-04-13)
UK robot sub searches for signs of melting 60 km into an Antarctic ice shelf cavity
Autosub, a robot submarine built and developed by the UK's National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, has successfully completed a high-risk campaign of six missions travelling under an Antarctic glacier. view more (2009-03-18)
Antarctic Ice Cores - 2002 metres deep as the year 2002 arrives
In the first week of the New Year a team of European scientists reached successfully the depth of 2002 metres of ice at the site of Dome Concordia high on East Antarctica's plateau - one of the most hostile places on the planet. The team, working on a seven-year Antarctic ice core programme to discover the history of the Earth's climate and... view more... (2002-01-15)
Emperor Penguins March toward Extinction?
Popularized by the 2005 movie "March of the Penguins," emperor penguins could be headed toward extinction in at least part of their range before the end of the century, according to a paper by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) researchers published January 26, 2009, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the... view more...

The first Envisat check-up on the Earth
A major new health check on the Earth got under way on 1 March, when the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite was launched by an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana. It is the largest and most sophisticated Earth observation satellite ever built. Following the launch and deployment of the solar panel and antennas, the... view more... (2002-03-28)
Swedish researchers fly all the way to the Antarctic
Participants in the second part of this winter's polar expedition to the Antarctic, SWEDARP 2002/03, are ready to depart. Today, Monday, January 20, five members of the expedition will leave Sweden to join the group of ten researchers already on site in Antarctica as of the middle of December. Swedish scientists in the fields of glaciology,... view more... (2003-01-20)
Glaciers and ice caps to dominate sea level rise this century, says CU-Boulder study
Ice loss from glaciers and ice caps is expected to cause more global sea rise during this century than the massive Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2007-07-20)
Seals quickly respond to gain and loss of habitat under climate change
Southern Elephant seals responded rapidly to climate and habitat change and established a new breeding site thousands of kilometres from existing breeding grounds, according to new research. view more (2009-07-10)
Icy calculations on a hot topic
University of Utah mathematicians have arrived at a new understanding of how salt-saturated ocean water flows through sea ice - a discovery that promises to improve forecasts of how global warming will affect polar icepacks. view more (2007-09-11)
Your own private global warming
A group of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey have collected individuals from a wide range of species commonly found in Antarctic waters and subjected them to increasing levels of water temperature to learn how each species is prepared to cope with the conditions that they are likely to experience in the future. view more (2009-06-30)
Ice sheets drive atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, inverting previous ice-age theory
In the early 20th century, Milutin Milankovitch, a leading astronomer and climatologist of the time, proposed that the Earth's ice-age cycles could be predicted because they correspond directly with routine changes in the Earth's orbit and its tilt over cycles of tens of thousands of years. view more (2006-07-25)
Satellites shed light on global warming
As climate change continues to make headlines across the world, participants at the 2007 Envisat Symposium this week are hearing how Earth observation satellites allow scientists to better understand the parameters involved in global warming and how this is impacting the planet. view more (2007-04-30)
