Antarctic: ‘No role’ for climate in Halley iceberg splitting

Scientists Jan De Rydt and Hilmar Gudmundsson have spent years studying the area and say the calving will be the result of natural processes only. The Antarctic station, which sits on a floating platform of ice, was moved in 2017 to get it away from a large chasm. That crack is now expected to dump …

New study shows how past Arctic sea ice loss was linked to abrupt climate warming

A new study on Greenland ice cores shows that Arctic sea ice loss in the period 30-100,000 years ago was associated with major oscillations in high latitude climate. During this period, Greenland temperatures repeatedly increased by up to 16°C in less than a century, followed by more gradual cooling. The results are published today (Monday …
