Cui et al. took high-speed recordings of ice droplets melting on different substrates to study the droplets’ geometries.

A closer look at Earth’s history shows that melting ice sheets temporarily increased stratification in the Southern Ocean.

The glacier located near Sunlight Peak, Wyo., has been its icy self since the Yellowstone region's last major glaciation occurred some 20,000 years ago. The bulk of Sunlight's ice has remained ...

Ice in the Arctic and Antarctica plays a critical role in maintaining life on Earth, and it is melting faster than previously thought. This is threatening our planet with potentially massive sea-level ...

Extreme ice melt in Greenland is expanding rapidly, with meltwater production increasing sixfold since 1990, new research ...

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 ...
