Subglacial water in Antarctica reshapes sea level rise predictions and reveals ancient drainage flow patterns.

These surveys filled gaps across East Antarctica, including the previously unmapped South Pole region, Pensacola Basin, and Princess Elizabeth Land. Improvements also occurred along West Antarctica’s ...

Never seen, perhaps, but that doesn't mean forever to remain unknown. For years, the British Antarctic Survey has been flying ...

Last week, the BAS released Bedmap3, "the most detailed map yet" of Antarctica's landscape beneath its blanket of ice, a press release about the map said. Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ...

It took the team over 11 years to collect all their data and then to use it to create a model of what they describe as Antarctica's Aurora Subglacial Basin (ASB). Once built, they began studying ...

In the first study to consider the long-term evolution of the rivers that flow beneath glaciers, researchers have new ...

Earlier maps placed the thickest ice in the Astrolabe Basin In Adelie Land. Here’s why this new map is critical: It will help researchers figure out how Antarctica might respond to warming ...

Enhanced westerly winds associated with global warming will strengthen the clockwise circulations and heat transport to the ...

Previous surveys placed Antarctica's thickest ice in the Astrolabe Basin in Adélie Land. The difference in ice thickness between the two areas is small: The Astrolabe Basin has a thickness of ...

In the first study to consider the long-term evolution of the rivers that flow beneath glaciers, researchers have new insights into the future of ...
