Record-Breaking Drill Beneath Antarctic Ice Reveals Ancient Open Ocean and Future Sea Level Risks
Scientists drilled deeper than ever beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and found sediment and marine remains showing the area was once open ocean. The 23-million-year record offers key clues about past melting, helping researchers better predict how quickly the ice sheet could retreat and affect future global sea levels.

Fighter Jets To Missile Destroyers: US Firepower In Gulf As Iran Strike Looms
US President Donald Trump said in January that "very big, very powerful" ships were sailing to Iran and that America hoped to not have to use them. As Trump considers a strike on Iran, a host of US military assets have been sent to the Middle East.

NASA Spots Giant Antarctic Iceberg Turning Blue as It Nears Breakup
NASA scientists are closely tracking iceberg A-23A as vivid blue meltwater pools spread across its surface, signalling rapid decay. Once covering nearly 4,000 square kilometres, the Antarctic megaberg has shrunk to about 1,180 square kilometres and is fragmenting in warmer South Atlantic waters, offering valuable insight into how rising temperature...

Arctic Report Card Flags Fast Warming, Record Heat and New Risks
The 2025 Arctic Report Card shows the Arctic is warming faster than expected, with record heat, shrinking ice, stronger storms, and rusting rivers. Scientists warn that rising temperatures are reshaping ecosystems, threatening water safety, and increasing risks for Arctic communities. The changes highlight how quickly climate impacts are unfolding,...

Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

Researchers Use AI to Predict Storm Surges Faster and More Accurately
AI-powered models are transforming storm surge forecasting by generating accurate coastal flood predictions in minutes. Using past storm data and neural networks, these systems outperform traditional physics models, helping coastal communities prepare faster as climate change drives stronger hurricanes and higher seas.

Global Projects Aim to Save Sinking Cities From Rising Seas and Climate Change
From Jakarta to Virginia, cities are adopting innovative ways to fight land sinking — from China’s sponge city initiative to the U.S. SWIFT program and European wet farming — offering real hope that urban landscapes can rise again and restore natural balance.
