A huge hole opened in the Arctic's oldest, thickest ice in May 2020, a new study revealed. Scientists previously thought that this area of ice was the Arctic's most stable, but the giant rift signals that the ancient ice is vulnerable to melt.
As the polar ice sheets melt, the process is not just raising sea levels – it's also warping the underlying surface of Earth, a new study reveals, and some of the effects can be seen across thousands of miles.
Underground heat is cooking the Thwaites Glacier from below, and could push it closer to collapse.
A study combining astronomical and geologic data hints at an extraterrestrial cause for extreme climate change 56 million years ago.
