16-01-13 The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second largest ice sheet in the world and it's melting rapidly, likely driving almost a third of global sea level rise. A new study shows clouds are playing a larger role in that process than scientists previously beli...

15-11-13 The anticipated melting of the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be slowed by two big factors that are largely overlooked in current computer models, according to a new study. The findings, published online in Nature Communications, suggest tha...

15-11-04 A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. The research challenges the conclusions of...

14-12-16 The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second-largest body of ice on Earth. It covers an area about five times the size of New York State and Kansas combined, and if it melts completely, oceans could rise by 20 feet. Coastal communities from Florida to Bang...

14-05-29 A new study has found that the Antarctic Ice Sheet began melting about 5,000 years earlier than previously thought coming out of the last ice age -- and that shrinkage of the vast ice sheet accelerated during eight distinct episodes, causing rapid s...

13-09-05 The results of research conducted by professors at UC Santa Barbara and colleagues mark the beginning of a new paradigm for our understanding of the history of Earth's great global ice sheets. The research shows that, contrary to the popularly held...

12-12-24 In a discovery that raises further concerns about the future contribution of Antarctica to sea level rise, a new study finds that the western part of the ice sheet is experiencing nearly twice as much warming as previously thought. The temperature r...

12-10-17 Oh God! I think I was about seven and half when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt（噱头，绝技） . I remember watching television with them and the show on happened to be our favorite program to watch. All of a sudden we heard my brother, Chr...

12-03-12 Inspired by nature's ability to shape a petal（花瓣） , and building on simple techniques used in photolithography（照相平印术） and printing, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a new tool for manufacturing three-d...

11-02-13 A set of maps created by the University of Sheffield have illustrated, for the first time, how our last British ice sheet shrunk during the Ice Age. Led by Professor Chris Clark from the University's Department of Geography, a team of experts develo...
