Successful mooring deployment to unlock deep secrets of glacier stability The successful deployment of a deep-water mooring line in between the Scott and Denman Glaciers will feed back critical long-term data on the area’s warming waters, giving researchers new insights into the drivers of potential ice melt. In a breakthrough moment of the Denman Terrestrial […]

Melting at the fringes When it comes to melting ice, the process in the oceans isn’t as straightforward as it is in a glass of water. In a new review, scientists reveal the multitude of ocean processes that contribute to ice shelf melt. The combined effect of these processes will determine future climate and sea-level […]

Revealing the Underbelly: Antarctic Under-Ice Ocean The Southern Ocean plays a vital role in regulating Earth’s climate, yet its icy depths have long remained shrouded in mystery. Now, a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans (JGR Oceans) has provided a new observation-based dataset that sheds light on this hidden world, including during […]
