Mining is banned on the frozen continent. But new research suggests that could change as ice melts and land and valuable minerals are exposed.

A peer-reviewed study published in Scientific Reports has reconstructed the evolution of the Antarctic Geoid Low, the strongest negative gravity anomaly on Earth, over approximately 70 million years, ...

Many of us know Antarctica as a land of ice and not much else. But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

A new study has reconstructed the evolution of the planet’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression —the Antarctic Geoid ...

Higher emissions could trigger collapsing ice shelves and rising sea levels in Antarctica, while lower emissions limit ...

New study reveals Antarctica faces collapse or resilience by 2100, with irreversible ice loss possible under high emissions scenarios.

The climate crisis is warming Antarctica fast, with potentially disastrous consequences. Now scientists have modelled the best- and worst-case ...

In the Antarctic Peninsula, precipitation is increasingly falling as rain rather than snow, with consequences for glaciers, ...
