Humanity has warmed the planet by 1.5°C since 1700
Most assessments of global warming use 1850-1900 as a baseline, but researchers have now established a new pre-industrial reference by using Antarctic ice cores to estimate the average temperature bef ...
Ice is getting more dangerous as the world warms, study suggests
White ice is less dense, filled with air bubbles and structurally weaker. In cold, calm conditions, black ice thickens over ...

Tiny photosynthetic aliens could be lurking in hidden bubbles in Mars' ice — and could soon be replicated on Earth
A new NASA-led study suggests that photosynthetic microbes could thrive in hidden bubbles of meltwater below patches of ice on Mars. This could be one of the easiest places to search for ...

Briefly Noted
By analyzing the dust, ash, oxygen isotopes, and air bubbles preserved in ice cores, scientists could now reconstruct the history of Earth’s climate. In 2019, Bierman, a geologist, and his team ...
