Australian scientists have started analysing the first batch of samples from the 'Million Year Ice Core' project.

“Antarctic ice cores are like Rosetta Stones,” said Jim White, Craver Family Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in an email.

The ice column is the length of six Empire State buildings. It represents ancient record of the Earth's climate and the story of a once warm Antarctica before it morphed into a snowy desert. Carlo ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in Antarctica, uncovering a 1.2-million-year-old ice core. This ancient ice holds valuable data on past climate conditions, which could help us ...

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive ...

Humans have been recording the weather for thousands of years. Antarctic ice, however, has been at it for over a million. An international team of scientists has extracted a 1.74-mile-long (2.8 ...

Sampling the core, they found that they had hit the jackpot. The ice core sample contained two distinct layers, with the top layer dating to around 2.95 million years old.

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...
