The landscape shrouded by the Antarctic Ice Sheet provides important insights into its history and influences the ice response to climate forcing. However, knowledge of this critical boundary has depe...

Scientists believe the map could shed light on how Antarctica's vast ice sheet will respond to climate change.

A new study suggests that changes to Hektoria Glacier are unprecedented - but not all scientists agree.

An Antarctic glacier retreated after the loss of landfast ice at a peak rate almost an order of magnitude faster than previously recorded because of buoyancy-driven ice calving, according to an analys...

Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula retreated 25 kilometres in just 15 months. Its rapid melt could have implications for other glaciers and the rate of sea level rise

The government has outlined how it will spend £57 million on research on geo-engineering projects designed to cool the planet

In decades of deep-sea exploration, humans have observed only 0.001% of the deep seafloor, leaving 66% of planet Earth unseen.

Deep tracks gouged in the seafloor off the coast of Scotland could help us understand Antarctica today.

Massive tabular icebergs broke off of the UK during the last ice age. The widespread break-up of the ice shelves which produced these giant icebergs can be traced to around 18,000 years ago, and likel...
