Melting Antarctic ice is weakening the world’s strongest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, according to research published in the journal Environmental Research Letters on Monday.

Ice sheets also support local wildlife in a variety of ways. Though life is barely supported on the sheet itself, many species live around the edges, relying on freshwater runoff for nutrients, per ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers said yesterday. An influx of freshwater from the melting sheets is changing the properties of the ocean and its ...

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, says a study warning of "severe" climate consequences. Melbourne, Australia - The world's ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne and NORCE Norway Research Centre has found that melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing down the world’s largest ocean current, the ...

But in recent years, global warming has also been leaving a mark there. Melting seems to be accelerating, especially in West Antarctica, where the youngest parts of the ice sheet are found.

Timelapse footage captured large ice sheets drifting along the shores of Lake Michigan on the morning of February 24, as mild weather moved through the region following a chilly month. Nathan ...
