Researchers stunned by impact of violent underwater 'storms': 'We're going to probably see more of these'
Violent underwater "storms" could cause the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to melt much more quickly than originally thought, a new study found, which could also put more coastal communities at risk. As ...
A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored a new study that describes storm-like ocean circulation patterns beneath ...
Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water that attack the ice from below. These secretive currents, spinning in the ...
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet covers some 760,000 square miles and is up to 1.2 miles thick. If it were to ever melt away entirely, it would add 10 feet to global sea levels. Even considering how ...
Intense storms that sweep over the Southern Ocean enable the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that today's climate models ...
