There's a long and contentious history of US interest in the Arctic island, but it seems to have entered a new phase under ...

In recent years, scientists have been tirelessly monitoring the ever-changing climate patterns affecting our planet. A new ...

The map, called Bedmap3, was developed by an international team led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). The researchers behind the project say the new map gives a clearer picture of where ...

The storm that ripped through Centre County on Sunday included a downburst that had estimated peak winds of 100 mph in Bellefonte, the National Weather Service said in a public information statement ...

They predict that the changed salinity will slow the vital Antarctic Circumpolar Current by 20 per cent by 2050. The strongest current on Earth, the ACC's influence extends to the Atlantic, Pacific ...

The most detailed map yet of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been assembled by a team of international scientists led from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Known as Bedmap3 ...

Scientists used one of Australia’s most powerful supercomputers to model how melting ice sheets might change the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which plays a major role in global climate patterns.

Drake Passage sits between South America’s Cape Horn, Chile, and Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands. On the map, the passage’s wild waters appear to be squeezed in the narrow slit created by the ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the most powerful ocean current in the world, is slowing down due to ice melt. This alarming discovery could disrupt global climate and marine ecosystems.

Researchers say slowdown of ACC may allow invasive species to reach Antarctica, threatening fragile food webs and species like penguins. Melting Antarctic ice could slow world's strongest ocean ...

In 2023, it left Antarctic waters and started traveling north. Then this spring it started spinning, becoming trapped in an ocean current near the South Orkney Islands. Now, it's run into the ...

Melbourne: Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It’s five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 ...
