The Earth's carbon cycle is crucial in controlling the greenhouse gas content of our atmosphere, and ultimately our climate.

Ice loss in West Antarctica has increased substantially in the last few decades and is ongoing.

A new study has shed new light on the link between sea-ice loss and cold winters.

With a projected future retreat of the Antarctic ice sheet, scientists expect an intensification of iceberg discharge.

Seaweed, or macroalgae, form the most extensive and productive vegetated coastal habitats.

Satellite measurements show that global mean sea level rise has been increasing since at least 1993; prior to that, however, the inexistence of satellite data and the sparse tide gauge data limits understanding of the long-term trend. Combining tide gauge and satellite data a new study now shows an acceleration since the 1960s that is linked to increases and shifts in Southern Hemisphere westerly winds.

Finding an answer can provide clues to everything from the conditions under which primitive life forms evolved to the geologic history of seawater chemistry.

University of Oregon-led team uses a new approach to directly measure submarine melt, uncovering data that could enhance projections of sea level changes

North Carolina has one of the highest impact zones of tropical cyclones in the world.

A study says that instability hidden within Antarctic ice is likely to accelerate its flow into the ocean and push sea level up at a more rapid pace than previously expected.
