A well-timed atmospheric river dropped enough snow on Greenland for its ice sheet to lose 8% less mass than expected.

Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected in the coming years and drive sea ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays a major role in global climate patterns Melting ice sheets would "dump vast quantities of fresh water" into the current, the modelling found. Supplied The ...
