Ocean mud locks up much of the planet's carbon—we're digging deep to map these ancient stores by Sophie Ward, Zoe Roseby, The Conversation edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors ...

Everyone knows Antarctica is cold and icy, but what's underneath the ice has been a mystery. Scientists used six decades' worth of technology to take a peek.

A new detailed map of Antarctica is set to significantly improve predictions of how ice flows and melts in response to climate change, say the scientists behind the project.

The researchers behind the project say the new map gives a clearer picture of where mountains rise, canyons plunge, and—most importantly—where ice is most likely to move as the planet heats up.

The planet is warming, and the ice on the north coast of Labrador is shrinking. Inuit elders and researchers tell us how ice is connected to Inuit ways of living, what’s at risk for their people ...

Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union because it did not meet all three criteria of their updated definition of a planet.

Scientists warn that the world's sea ice - the frozen ocean water at the North and South Poles - has plunged to a record low.
