Arctic sea ice on July 19, 2022 as captured on a NASA Gulfstream V plane. Sea ice could extend as far south as the UK if a crucial system of ocean currents collapses, a new study has found.

The central estimate of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C is 130 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide and will be exhausted in a little more than three years at current levels of emissions. The latest ...

For instance, its predictive modelling tools can help urban planners design resilient coastal cities, taking into account future sea-level rise and extreme weather patterns. Environmental agencies can ...

Coastal planners take heed: Newly uncovered evidence from fossil corals found on an island chain in the Indian Ocean suggests that sea levels could rise even more steeply in our warming world than ...

On 28 November 1966, an American airplane flies over the Antarctic Peninsula just south of the southernmost tip of Chile. On ...

Old Antarctic photos help University of Copenhagen scientists trace ice shelf collapse and predict future sea level rise.

When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet. Like the moon, the gravity of the ice sheets ...

When visiting Godrevy beach on the north Cornish coast, most people look out to sea at the lighthouse, surfers and seals rather than the cliffs behind. But these cliffs hold a history of past climate ...

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

These abrupt pulses of sea-level rise were punctuated by periods of falling seas, and Dutton says they point to times when the polar ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica—thousands of miles ...

Science New Climate Study Highlights Dire Sea Level Warnings To learn about how polar ice sheets melted during an ancient era, scientists examined fossil coral reefs in the tropics.
