Some estimates of Antarctica’s total contribution to sea-level rise may be over- or underestimated, after researchers detected a previously unknown source of ice loss variability.
An international team of researchers has revealed new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.
After centuries without volcanic activity, Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula sprang to life in 2021 when lava erupted from the Fagradalsfjall volcano. New research involving the University of Cambridge helps us see what is going on deep beneath the volcano by reading the chemistry of lavas and volcanic gases almost as they were erupted.
Despite the rapid melting of ice in many parts of Antarctica during the second half of the 20th century, researchers have found that the floating ice shelves which skirt the eastern Antarctic Peninsula have undergone sustained advance over the past 20 years.
Comprehensive scientific report shows progress and effects on climate, nature and people.
The world’s second-largest ice sheet is melting from the bottom up – and generating huge amounts of heat from hydropower.
The University of Cambridge has become the first higher education institution outside of the USA to partner with the Posse Foundation, offering graduate studentships to young people from under-represented backgrounds.
