A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke ...

When your shadow is longer than you are, the sun angle is low. The lower the sun, the more its energy gets spread out over a ...

Windblown dust delivers nutrients to algae on Greenland ice, darkening the surface and accelerating melting and sea level ...

Antarctica holds so much frozen water that if it vanished overnight, the shape of the planet’s coasts, climate and oceans would be unrecognizable within hours. The scenario is wildly unrealistic, but ...

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

A thin, watery layer coating the surface of ice is what makes it slick. Despite a great deal of theorizing over the centuries, though, it isn't entirely clear why that layer forms.

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...
