Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer within 100 years, scientists say
The current warming trends in the Arctic may shove the Arctic system into a seasonally ice-free state not seen for more than one million years. view more (2005-08-24)
Permanent ice fields are resisting global warming
The small ice caps of Mont Blanc and the Dôme du Goûter are not melting, or at least, not yet. This is what CNRS researchers1 have announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research. view more (2007-05-17)
Where Does the North Pole Ice Come From? The Origin of the Northern Hemisphere Ice Age
Large areas of the Northern Hemisphere are currently covered with ice. This has, however, not always been the case. In the current issue of the science magazine "Nature", scientists from the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) present a possible solution for the oldest mystery of palaeo... view more...

By Adding Graphene, Researchers Create Superior Polymer
Researchers at Northwestern University and Princeton University have created a new kind of polymer that, because of its extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties, could be used in everything from airplanes to solar cells. view more (2008-05-20)
U. of Colorado study shows massive CO2 burps from ocean to atmosphere at end of last ice age
A University of Colorado at Boulder-led research team tracing the origin of a large carbon dioxide increase in Earth's atmosphere at the end of the last ice age has detected two ancient "burps" that originated from the deepest parts of the oceans. view more (2007-05-11)
New ice cores expand view of climate history
Two new studies of gases trapped in Antarctic ice cores have extended the record of Earth's past climate almost 50 percent further, adding another 210,000 years of definitive data about the makeup of the Earth's atmosphere and providing more evidence of current atmospheric change. view more (2005-11-28)
Warm winter also in the Arctic
Central Europe is not the only place where the past, warm winter has caused record temperatures. Unusually mild temperatures also prevented ice formation in the Arctic, specifically in the region around Spitsbergen. view more (2007-03-30)
Study of underground lakes in Antarctica could be critical, prof says
The discovery of interconnected lakes beneath kilometers of ice in Antarctica could be one of the most important scientific finds in recent years, but proper procedures need to be established before investigation begins, says a Texas A&M University scientist who is a leader in the research efforts. view more (2007-06-06)
Melting Greenland Ice Sheets May Threaten Northeast United States, Canada
Melting of the Greenland ice sheet this century may drive more water than previously thought toward the already threatened coastlines of New York, Boston, Halifax, and other cities in the northeastern United States and Canada. view more (2009-05-28)
It's raining pentagons
This week's Nature Materials (09 March 2009) reveals how an international team of scientists led by researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at UCL have discovered a novel one dimensional ice chain structure built from pentagons that may prove to be a step toward the development of new materials which can be used to seed clouds... view more...

Scientists Uncover a Dramatic Rise in Sea Level and Its Broad Ramifications
Scientists have found proof in Bermuda that the planet's sea level was once more than 21 meters (70 feet) higher about 400,000 years ago than it is now. Their findings were published in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews Wednesday, Feb. 4. view more (2009-02-10)
Soviet plans implemented by Nature 90,000 years ago
One of the more controversial environmental issues, which emerged in the final years of the Soviet era, was the plan to dam and reverse the flow of north-flowing rivers in order to irrigate the dry southern steppes. This scheme was roundly criticised by scientists and environmentalists at the time because of fears for the impact on the Arctic... view more... (2002-01-22)
How will the Arctic sea ice cover develop this summer?
The ice cover in the Arctic Ocean at the end of summer 2008 will lie, with almost 100 per cent probability, below that of the year 2005 - the year with the second lowest sea ice extent ever measured. view more (2008-07-10)
Predetermined winners and losers in the Ice Age extinction game
The Quaternary ice ages caused severe decimation of the European tree flora. Of the diverse pre-Ice Age tree flora only a minority of the genera are still widespread in Europe. Most of the remainder have been lost altogether from the European flora and now only occurs in Asia and/or North America, although some persist as relicts in southern... view more... (2003-07-02)
First large-scale evaluation of iris recognition under way
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced that it is running the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE), the first large-scale evaluation of iris recognition. view more (2005-08-11)
The origin of perennial water-ice at the South Pole of Mars
Thanks to data from ESA's Mars Express mission, combined with models of the Martian climate, scientists can now suggest how the orbit of Mars around the Sun affects the deposition of water ice at the Martian South Pole. view more (2007-07-16)
Alaska glacier speed-up tied to internal plumbing issues, says CU-Boulder study
A University of Colorado at Boulder study indicates meltwater periodically overwhelms the interior drainpipes of Alaska's Kennicott Glacier and causes it to lurch forward, similar to processes that may help explain the acceleration of glaciers observed recently on the Greenland ice sheet that are contributing to global sea rise. view more (2008-01-16)
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)
University of Leicester geologists demonstrate extent of ancient ice age
Geologists at the University of Leicester have shown that an ancient Ice Age, once regarded as a brief 'blip', in fact lasted for 30 million years. view more (2009-06-17)
