Winter is still upon us and with it an icy science experiment that can be done at home. Ice is frozen water and will begin to melt soon after leaving a freezing environment. Are there ways we can ...

BOSTON – Why is sea ice continuing to melt in the Arctic? NASA researchers are aiming to find out as they just wrapped up a never-before-done experiment. The research, called Arctic ...

"One of them was just lying on the ice, completely intact." Researchers stunned as melting ice reveals ancient Viking ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

Researchers at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences found that icebergs capsize because of the unstable shapes ...

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of years. New research, however, suggests this drift can speed up or slow down ...

A melting glacier in southeastern Alaska has birthed a brand-new island in the middle of a growing lake, according to recent images captured by NASA satellites. The 2-square-mile island is a small ...

As the planet warms, it risks crossing catastrophic tipping points: thresholds where Earth systems, such as ice sheets and ...

Melting ice sheets are often considered synonymous with climate change in the media, with evocative images of lone polar bears floating on ever-shrinking rafts of ice. While impacts such as sea level ...

Though it is true that sea ice melt is not a large contributor to sea level rise, the measuring cup experiment is an inaccurate and oversimplified "proof." It does not debunk sea level rise or climate ...
