A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive floating ice shelves in East Antarctica.

A rogue Argo oceanographic float drifted away to accidentally collect data on one of Antarctica’s most inaccessible regions.

An autonomous submarine named Ran discovers strange structures under the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica, before mysteriously disappearing.

Argo floats are free-floating robotic oceanographic instruments. As they drift, they rise and fall through the ocean to ...

Water's unique property of ice floating on its liquid form is crucial for life on Earth. This phenomenon, caused by the hexagonal structure formed by hydrogen bonds in ice, creates an insulating layer ...

"The tip of the iceberg" is a phrase that suggests there is more to a situation than meets the eye. But ice shelves are also hiding secrets underneath the ocean's surface. A team of international ...

If it were to melt completely, the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) holds enough ice to raise the global sea levels by 4 ...

Thinning of rift-healing slush is identified as a major cause of iceberg calving events Glaciologists at the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have examined the ...

Modified floating wood could seed the formation of new sea ice in the Arctic, helping counteract the rapid decline of ice coverage due to global warming. The area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice is ...
