Unseen mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers lie under Antarctica’s mile-thick ice sheet. Changes to those hidden rivers could have dramatic global consequences.

Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...

Have you ever wondered what Antarctica might look like without ice? Now, a new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed ...

Map of West Antarctica shows the subglacial topography of the study area, including the likely path the river once followed. Abbreviations: AP, Antarctic Peninsula; AT, Adare Trough; EWM ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

From Bedmap3 updated ice bed, surface and thickness gridded datasets for Antarctica (by Pritchard, H., et al. ) As we better map isolated and icy areas on Earth, these findings also help inform ...

In 2019, he created his first map of all the world’s natural rivers. With each watershed emblazoned in a different color, the overall effect was psychedelic. Now, his latest maps unify these ...

In West Antarctica, atmospheric rivers deliver a disproportionate quantity of the year’s snowfall. Research shows they account for around 13% of annual snowfall totals, despite occurring on just a few ...

A U.S.-French satellite that will map almost all of the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers rocketed into orbit Friday. The predawn launch aboard a SpaceX rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in ...

Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events—such as atmospheric rivers—by 2100, with implications for future sea level rise. A study published in Nature Communications reveals ...
