A growing body of sediment core studies and ice-sheet simulations is sharpening the picture of how warm ocean water has repeatedly destabilized Antarctic ice over thousands of years. Multiple ...
Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean floor, sediment cores hold secrets that could reshape how scientists predict Earth's climate future. These deep-sea layers capture snapshots of ancient oceans, revealing ...
Onboard a ship off the icy coast of Greenland, Anne Jennings and the crew have been paying close attention to Fred, a massive, jagged iceberg, for the past two weeks. “It’s really beautiful and ...
A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Deep sea sediments contain treasure troves of information about marine ecosystems and past climate scenarios, yet remain understudied clues into Earth’s environmental future, ...
Researchers are looking into our planet’s past to understand its future. Just like archaeologists investigate layers of dirt for ancient artifacts, geologists analyze layers in cores—tube-shaped ...
A team of scientists, engineers, and ship's crew on the research vessel Neil Armstrong operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) recently collected a 38-foot-long cylindrical ...
Shrunken seashells and unusually dark sediment cores have helped geoscientists better understand the chronology and character of events that led to Ocean Anoxic Event 2, nearly 100 million years ago.
This story is from The Pulse, a weekly health and science podcast. Before dawn on a windy day, two dozen climate scientists shiver on the top deck of a research ship, watching as tugboats pull them ...
