***Changed embargo time***Rising sea levels could be 'cancelled out' by increased snowfall
A paper published today in Science shows that the largest ice sheet in the world, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, is growing due to increased snow fall. This growth partly mitigates the sea level rise caused by melting glaciers in other areas, especially Greenland. view more (2005-05-17)
Antarctic ice shelf retreats happened before
The retreat of Antarctic ice shelves is not new according to research published this week (24 Feb) in the journal Geology by scientists from Universities of Durham, Edinburgh and British Antarctic Survey (BAS). view more (2005-02-23)
Arctic sea ice narrowly missed record low in winter 2007, says University of Colorado team
The maximum extent of Arctic sea ice in winter 2007 was the second lowest on satellite record, narrowly missing the 2006 record, according to a team of University of Colorado at Boulder researchers. view more (2007-04-05)
Record warm summers cause extreme ice melt in Greenland
An international team of scientists, led by Dr Edward Hanna at the University of Sheffield, has demonstrated that recent warm summers have caused the most extreme Greenland ice melting in 50 years. view more (2008-01-16)
2000 meters deep in Antarctic ice
European ice core drilling project at Kohnen station retrieves old ice for climate research. At the Kohnen station operated by Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar- and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, the international drilling team reached a depth of 2000 meters on January 7 at 0210 hours. The ice from that depth is about 100.000 years old and yields... view more... (2004-01-08)
Ice cream researchers making sweet strides with 'functional foods'
A comfort food, a tasty treat, an indulgence - ice cream conjures feelings of happiness and satisfaction for millions. Ice cream researchers at the University of Missouri have discovered ways to make ice cream tastier and healthier and have contributed to ice cream development and manufacturing for more than a century. view more (2009-11-10)
Improving the creaminess of ice-cream
A research team from CEIT and university staff from TECNUN (Escuela Superior de Ingenieros de la Universidad de Navarra, Basque Country), are investigating the optimum conditions for the crystallisation of ice at the time of its manufacture, with the aim of obtaining ice creams that have a better texture on contact with the palate. This research,... view more... (2003-07-30)
CLIMATE CAPERS UNDER EXAMINATION - International Conference near Bremen
A new era in climate research began with the ice-core drilling in Greenland at the beginning of the nineties supplying the proof that the last Ice Age was marked by large fluctuations in temperature. Differences of up to 7°C within just a few years were not uncommon. view more (1999-10-07)
Sea level rise of 1 meter within 100 years
New research indicates that the ocean could rise in the next 100 years to a meter higher than the current sea level - which is three times higher than predictions from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. view more (2009-01-08)
West African Ocean sediment core links monsoons to global climate evolution
Monsoons, the life-giving, torrential rains of Asia and Africa, have an ancient, unsuspected connection to previous Ice Age climate cycles, according to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and at Kiel University in Germany. view more (2007-06-01)
Arctic sea ice diminished rapidly in 2004 and 2005
The Arctic Ocean's perennial sea ice, which survives the summer melt season and remains year-round, shrank abruptly by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to a newly published study. view more (2006-09-14)
First evidence of under-ice volcanic eruption in Antarctica
The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica's most rapidly changing ice sheet is reported this week in the journal Nature Geosciences. The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet erupted 2000 years ago (325BC) and remains active. view more (2008-01-21)
Satellite spies on doomed Antarctic ice shelf
Satellite images have revealed the collapse of Larsen B ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula fulfilling predictions made by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists. The collapse of the 3250 km2 ice shelf is the latest drama in a region of Antarctica that has experienced unprecedented warming over the last 50 years. Earlier this month Ted Scambos... view more...

Greenland's thinning ice sheet could be saved by snow
A study conducted by an expert at the University of Sheffield and officials at NASA has found that while Greenland's ice is certainly thinning, snowfall in some areas is increasing, with levels in south-east Greenland in the past year being three times higher than is usual. This opens debate as to how global warming will affect Greenland's ice... view more... (2004-12-20)
Ice Ages and rivers may have affected gorilla diversification
Geography and historical climate change may have both played a major role in gorilla evolutionary diversification, according to a new genetic study by Cardiff University and the University of New Orleans. view more (2007-12-11)
Antarctic ice loss
Increasing amounts of ice mass have been lost from West Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula over the past ten years, according to research from the University of Bristol and published online this week in Nature Geoscience. view more (2008-01-14)
Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean. view more (2006-10-05)
Russia Returns To Arctic On A Drifting Ice-floe
After a long break Russia is getting ready to resume the research in Arctic with the help of floating stations. As Valery Martyshenko (Rosgidromet) has advised InformNauka, an appropriate ice-floe is currently being looked for, and the 32nd station will start the floating in the last decade of April. Vladimir Sokolov, Head of the SP-32 floating... view more... (2003-03-25)
Avoiding the hothouse and the icehouse
By controlling emissions of fossil fuels we may be able to greatly delay the start of the next ice age, new research from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen concludes. view more (2009-02-11)
Cosmic dust in terrestrial ice
For the last 30,000 years, our planet has been hit by a constant rain of cosmic dust particles. view more (2006-07-28)
