Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Antarctica Was Last Ice-Free 34 Million Years Ago: What Triggered This Climate Shift?
Antarctica, which is nearly four times the size of the United States, was not always covered in ice. The last time it was ice-free was 34 million years ago during the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. At that time, global temperatures were higher, and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were much higher than today. However, a significant drop in CO2 l...
