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)
The least sea ice in 800 years
New research, which reconstructs the extent of ice in the sea between Greenland and Svalbard from the 13th century to the present indicates that there has never been so little sea ice as there is now. The research results from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, are published in the scientific journal, Climate Dynamics. view more (2009-07-01)
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)
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)
Rising sea levels set to have major impacts around the world
Research presented today at the International Scientific Congress on Climate Change in Copenhagen shows that the upper range of sea level rise by 2100 could be in the range of about one meter, or possibly more. view more (2009-03-10)
ASIRAS, a new ESA airborne instrument sees ice for the first time
Making sure that the measurements made by satellites are as accurate as possible has always been a difficult business and this will be especially true for ESA's ice mission CryoSat. However, last week a new instrument, which is set to be the workhorse for validating CryoSat data, was successfully tested from an aircraft over the snow and ice not... view more... (2004-04-08)
Scientists probe Antarctic glaciers for clues to past and future sea level
Scientists from the U.S., U.K. and Australia have teamed up to explore two of the last uncharted regions of Earth, the Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins, immense ice-buried lowlands in Antarctica with a combined area the size of Mexico. view more (2008-10-28)
Superfloods hit the capital @ London `Catastrophes` conference
Flooding of the world`s coastal lowlands has the potential to generate major future catastrophes. The melting of the great ice sheets in North America and Asia at the end of the last ice age caused extreme flood events that changed global climate and played an important role in human settlement and migration. These `superfloods` are probably the... view more... (2002-08-17)
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)
Hotter is better for removing allergens in laundry
A new study finds that the heat setting you choose when doing laundry makes all the difference when it comes to killing dust mites. view more (2007-05-21)
Andrill demonstrates climate warming affects Antarctic ice sheet stability
A five-nation scientific team has published new evidence that even a slight rise in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, one of the gases that drives global warming, affects the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). view more (2009-03-19)
Arctic expeditions find giant mud waves, glacier tracks
Scientists gathering evidence of ancient ice sheets uncovered a new mystery about what's happening on the Arctic sea floor today. Sonar images revealed that, in some places, ocean currents have driven the mud along the Arctic Ocean bottom into piles, with some "mud waves" nearly 100 feet across. view more (2007-12-13)
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)
NASA Satellites Measure and Monitor Sea Level
For the first time, NASA has the tools and expertise to understand the rate at which sea level is changing, some of the mechanisms that drive those changes and the effects that sea level change may have worldwide. view more (2005-07-11)
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)
Global warming could lead to fast freeze, warns University of Ulster scientist
Dramatic climate change as a result of global warming could happen in a single lifetime - instead of being a slow process evolving over centuries, according to a University of Ulster academic. Professor Marshall McCabe of the School of Environmental Sciences said that given the right set of circumstances, "a climate can flip in a... view more... (2004-05-25)
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...

Melting threat from West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be less than expected, could hit US hardest
While a total or partial collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet as a result of warming would not raise global sea levels as high as some predict, levels on the U.S. seaboards would rise 25 percent more than the global average and threaten cities like New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, according to a new study. view more (2009-05-15)
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)
Antarctic ice sheet losing mass, says University of Colorado study
University of Colorado at Boulder researchers have used data from a pair of NASA satellites orbiting Earth in tandem to determine that the Antarctic ice sheet, which harbors 90 percent of Earth's ice, has lost significant mass in recent years. view more (2006-03-03)
