Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

Numerous studies have also shown that the melting of Greenland's ice sheet has picked up speed. If the ice mass, the second largest in the world after Antarctica, were to melt completely it could ...

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published today that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the ocean’s salt levels, potentially disrupting the vital Antarctic Circumpolar Current, with profound global consequences. Flowing clockwise around ...

Scientists have some wild ideas to slow sea-level rise caused by melting ice. Glaciers generally move so slowly you can’t see their progress with the naked eye. (Their pace is … glacial.) ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) — the planet’s most powerful ocean current — is weakening as melting ice sheets release vast amounts of freshwater into the Southern Ocean ...

A major role in this is played by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which is the second largest, second only to the Antarctic glaciers. Pros estimates scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion ...

But, before you run out and buy a commercial ice melt or head to the kitchen for table salt to de-ice your patio or deck, you ...

Scientists are taking an urgent trip to Mount Everest to explore why the ice of one of the mountain’s most iconic glaciers is so close to melting. If the researchers acquire the data they hope ...
