Antarctic sea ice is shrinking faster than expected. New research shows how winds, ocean heat, and feedback loops caused this ...

Research led by polar scientists from Northumbria University has revealed new hope in natural environmental systems found in East Antarctica which could help mitigate the overall rise of carbon ...

Scientists have uncovered one of the biggest mysteries in climate science, why the Southern Ocean continues to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) even as the planet warms. A new study from ...

Sudden ice collapse: Since 2015, Antarctic sea ice has fallen sharply, hitting record lows in 2023, an event scientists say was almost impossible by chance. Hidden heat revealed: Decades of stronger ...

Antarctic krill trap vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere in the ocean floor through their sinking fecal pellets, a new study reports. The annual amount is similar to that stored by “blue carbon ...

Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...

Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, according to new research. Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key ...
