Ice Age Valleys Give Clues to Future Ice Sheet Change
Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled water to stop themselves from collapsing.
Deciphering Environmental Data From Corals
Rising sea surface temperatures threaten tropical coral reefs, as these ecosystems are sensitive to a changing environment.
Study: Glass Microspheres Won’t Save Arctic Sea Ice
A proposal to cover Arctic sea ice with layers of tiny hollow glass spheres about the thickness of one human hair would actually accelerate sea-ice loss and warm the climate rather than creating thick ice and lowering the temperature as proponents claim.
195 Ways to Help California’s Painted Ladies
By documenting hundreds of new nectar plants for painted ladies, scientists have renewed hope these charismatic butterflies may prove resilient to climate change.
Seasonal Change in Antarctic Ice Sheet Movement Observed for First Time
Some estimates of Antarctica’s total contribution to sea-level rise may be over- or underestimated, after researchers detected a previously unknown source of ice loss variability.
