Deep Space Brine
Scientists from The University of Manchester have found traces of sea water in a meteorite that fell in Morocco in 1998. This discovery shows that the necessary conditions for life in the Universe may have existed much earlier than previously believed. The team found salt crystals containing pockets of brine within the... view more... (2000-06-08)
Ice study could stop people slip-sliding away
Going out and about in freezing conditions could become safer thanks to fundamental research at the University of Edinburgh into how we slip on ice. view more (2004-12-09)
Rapid Sea Level Rise in the Arctic Ocean May Alter Views of Human Migration
Scientists have found new evidence that the Bering Strait near Alaska flooded into the Arctic Ocean about 11,000 years ago, about 1,000 years earlier than widely believed, closing off the land bridge thought to be the major route for human migration from Asia to the Americas. view more (2006-10-12)
Successful series of measurements in Arctic sea ice
The German Research Vessel Polarstern had to prove its ice breaking capabilities in Arctic waters to gain data on two series of long-term research measurements. After working in regions up to latitude 82° N, Polarstern of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association will enter port in Reykjavik... view more...

Ecologists use oceanographic data to predict future climate change
Ecologists and oceanographers are attempting to predict the future impacts of climate change by reconstructing the past behavior of Arctic climate and ocean circulation. view more (2008-11-07)
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)
Ice Sheets Can Retreat
Modern glaciers, such as those making up the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, are capable of undergoing periods of rapid shrinkage or retreat, according to new findings by paleoclimatologists at the University at Buffalo. view more (2009-06-22)
Frozen methane chunks not responsible for abrupt increases in atmospheric methane
Icy chunks of frozen methane and water are not responsible for the periodic increases in atmospheric methane recorded in Greenland ice cores. view more (2006-02-10)
Global glacier melt continues
Glaciers around the globe continue to melt at high rates. Tentative figures for the year 2007, of the World Glacier Monitoring Service at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, indicate a further loss of average ice thickness of roughly 0.67 meter water equivalent (m w.e.). Some glaciers in the European Alps lost up to 2.5 m w.e. view more (2009-01-29)
Oldest Antarctic ice core reveals climate history
Secrets of the Earth's past climate locked in a three-kilometre long Antarctic ice core are revealed this week in the journal Nature. The core from Dome C, high on East Antarctica's plateau, contains snowfall from the last 740,000 years and is by far the oldest continuous climate record obtained from ice cores so far. The ice has been collected... view more... (2004-06-03)

Arctic climate models playing key role in polar bear decision
The pending federal decision about whether to protect the polar bear as a threatened species is as much about climate science as it is about climate change. view more (2008-03-12)
Data show Antarctic ice stream radiating seismically
A seismologist at Washington University in St. Louis and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University and Newcastle University in the United Kingdom have found seismic signals from a giant river of ice in Antarctica that makes California's earthquake problem seem trivial. view more (2008-06-05)
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)
North Carolina sea levels rising 3 times faster than in previous 500 years, Penn study says
An international team of environmental scientists led by the University of Pennsylvania has shown that sea-level rise, at least in North Carolina, is accelerating. view more (2009-10-29)
Mini-Monsoon In The Mediterranean - Science article on the climate puzzle in the Near East
Our post-ice-age climate is not nearly as stable as is commonly believed. New evidence for this is reported by geoscientists of the DFG Research Center Ocean Margins in the upcoming issue of the journal Science. Investigating marine sediments from the northern Red Sea, they discovered that this currently very dry region was influenced by a long... view more... (2003-04-01)
German research vessel Polartern discovers abandoned Russian station on ice floe
On August 16, 2004 early in the morning the German research vessel RV Polarstern discovered the remains of the abandoned Russian drifting ice camp North Pole-32 on an ice floe. The position of the floe was 82°16`N - 004°21`W. Three more or less intact barracks (one with antenna), one tent, two damaged barracks, two tractors, three larger... view more... (2004-08-20)
Alaska's Columbia Glacier continues on disintegration course
Alaska's rapidly disintegrating Columbia Glacier, which has shrunk in length by 9 miles since 1980, has reached the mid-point of its projected retreat, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2005-12-08)
Why oceans behave like water in a bath
SATELLITE measurements of sea levels have uncovered a bizarre effect. The sea seems to be rising faster near the coast than in mid-ocean. Simon Holgate and Philip Woodworth of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, in Bidston, UK, found this discrepancy using the Topex satellite, launched in 1992. The satellite measures sea level by bouncing... view more... (2004-04-21)
Climate change means time is running out for ski resorts built on glaciers
As the first snowfalls mark the opening of the new skiing season in Europe, glaciologists at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA) are warning that time may be running out for ski resorts built on glaciers. Dr Bryn Hubbard of the Centre for Glaciology at UWA is studying the response of some of the world's most sensitive ice masses to climate... view more... (2003-11-26)
