ODP scientists say no large Northern Hemisphere ice sheets 41 million years ago
New research to test global ice volume approximately 41.6 million years ago shows that ice caps at this time, if they existed at all, would have been small and easily accommodated on Antarctica. view more (2007-08-23)
The MARSIS radar estimates the volume of water in the south pole of Mars
By studying the South Polar region of Mars, the MARSIS (Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding) radar of the Mars Express space probe has enabled the structure of the layered deposits of this region to be elucidated. view more (2007-04-02)
Science From Space
Scientists working at the Bristol Glaciology Centre at the University of Bristol will be staying up all night to watch the lift-off of the largest and most powerful Earth observation satellite ever to be launched by the European Space Agency. The satellite, called ENVISAT, is 25 metres high, ten metres wide and weighs over eight tons. Fully... view more... (2002-02-28)
How a zebra lost its stripes: Rapid evolution of the quagga
DNA from museum samples of extinct animals is providing unexpected information on the extent and effect of the Ice Age as well as the path of species evolution, according to a report by scientists from Yale University, the Smithsonian Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. view more (2005-09-27)
Ice has a starring role - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When even moderately hot stars like our Sun have surface temperatures of around 6,000°C, it is hard to imagine that ice plays an important part in their formation. But that`s exactly what astrophysicists have recently discovered by turning to surface scientists for help. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8 April, part of the... view more...

Research icebreaker 'Polarstern' drifting in Antarctic ice
Since November 27, an ice floe has served as home as well as working place for 55 scientists from 11 nations. The research icebreaker 'Polarstern' of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven has been tied up firmly to a drifting ice floe in the Antarctic Weddel Sea. view more (2004-12-09)
Antarctic Ice Core milestone - 2002 m reached as year 2002 arrives
In the first weeks of the New Year a team of European scientists drilled successfully through 2002 metres of ice at Dome Concordia, high on East Antarctica`s plateau - one of the most hostile places on the planet. A specially created laboratory on the ice enabled scientists to analyse, for the first time, past climate shifts within hours of each 3... view more... (2002-01-15)
First direct evidence that human activity is linked to Antarctic Ice Shelf collapse
The first direct evidence linking human activity to the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves is published this week in the Journal of Climate. view more (2006-10-17)
Older Arctic sea ice replaced by young, thin ice, says CU-Boulder study
A new study by University of Colorado at Boulder researchers indicates older, multi-year sea ice in the Arctic is giving way to younger, thinner ice, making it more susceptible to record summer sea-ice lows like the one that occurred in 2007. view more (2008-01-14)
UK glaciologists warn of global warming threat to South American World Heritage Site
Leading UK scientists fear that one of South America's leading natural tourist destinations, the San Rafael Glacier in Patagonian Chile, which is renowned for the spectacular way in which it releases icebergs into the San Rafael Laguna, may soon retreat to a point where it no longer reaches the sea. This, they warn, might remove one of the main... view more... (2004-04-26)
Mathematics and climate change
In 1994, University of Utah mathematician Ken Golden went to the Eastern Weddell Sea for the Antarctic Zone Flux Experiment. The sea's surface is normally covered with sea ice, the complex composite material that results when sea water is frozen. view more (2009-04-13)
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)
An active way to boost traffic flow
A futuristic scheme is to be trialled on the M42 in Birmingham, using a combination of hi-tech traffic management systems, to help smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion. From summer 2004, a series of innovative tools will start to be integrated as part of the Active Traffic Management project. Helping to provide safer, smoother and more... view more... (2003-12-01)
New Antarctic ice core to provide clearest climate record yet
After enduring months on the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth, researchers today closed out the inaugural season on an unprecedented, multi-year effort to retrieve the most detailed record of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere over the last 100,000 years. view more (2008-01-24)
How chilly was the last ice age?
Polar oceans permanently covered with ice, temperatures ten to twelve degrees Celsius lower than today in the North Atlantic region, tropical oceans on the other hand only two degrees Celsius below modern values: Until quite recently these were the general ideas climate researchers had about the climax of the last ice age 20.000 years ago. Now... view more... (1999-05-03)
New Arctic satellite data shows Arctic literally on thin ice
The latest data from NASA and the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center show the continuation of a decade-long trend of shrinking sea ice extent in the Arctic, including new evidence for thinning ice as well. view more (2009-04-07)
Arctic sea ice recovers slightly in 2009, remains on downward trend, says U. of Colorado report
Despite a slight recovery in summer Arctic sea ice in 2009 from record-setting low years in 2007 and 2008, the sea ice extent remains significantly below previous years and remains on a trend leading toward ice-free Arctic summers, according to the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center. view more (2009-10-07)
Scientists discover pentagonal ice
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered a five-sided ice chain structure that could be used to modify future weather patterns. view more (2009-04-07)
Role of Silica in Climate Cycles
New research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) has demonstrated that the compound silica was not solely responsible for changes in carbon dioxide levels during past Ice Ages. It is already known from scientific research that during past Ice Ages increased amounts of silica, a common component of wind-blown dust, were deposited in the ocean.... view more... (2001-06-21)
Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants. view more (2004-08-27)
