The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

Ice melt expert Angelika Zaber warns that though the two salts are similar, water-softening salt is usually less effective. 'When compared directly to rock salt, both products typically have a ...

Drilling 500 meters through the ice sheet to the Antarctic mainland beneath, they encountered water and sedimentary rock. For the hot water drilling, they used a high-pressure nozzle and water at ...

Scientists have been struggling to understand why Antarctic sea ice has declined rapidly and continues to decline. Read more ...

Melting ice sheets will affect water temperatures and circulation patterns in the world's oceans, which will in turn affect air temperatures -- in a complex ice-ocean-atmosphere feedback loop.

Scientists uncover how the shape of melting ice depends on water temperature. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 01 / 220131083848.htm.

Pouring water over a frozen windshield is usually a big mistake. Cold water can actually thicken the ice, depending on the outside temperature, while hot water can cause the glass to crack due to ...

A 2020 press release stated, “Massive amounts of melting sea ice in the Arctic drained into the North Atlantic and disrupted climate-steering currents, thus playing an important role in causing ...
