The year 2025 was the warmest on record for the heat content of the world’s oceans. Ocean heat content (OHC) increased by around 500 zettajoules – billion trillion joules – since the 1940s.

In the fall, some right whales migrate from their northern feeding grounds down to the warmer waters off the United States’ ...

Instead, the most prolific period of glacial earthquakes at Thwaites, between 2018 and 2020, coincides with a period of accelerated flow of the glacier’s ice tongue towards the sea. The ice-tongue ...

Glacial earthquakes are rocking the Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica. Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake ...

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time. Known as the “Doomsday Glacier,” the Thwaites ...

Northwest Montana’s glaciers are still melting, albeit slower than scientists previously predicted. Models produced by climate scientists in the 2000s suggested that the masses of ice that gave ...
