This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

As glaciers and ice sheets retreat, they are exposing objects, organisms, and landscapes that have been locked away for centuries or even millennia. Those revelations are reshaping how I understand ...

Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational method to monitor the Arctic's melting ice, which holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin ...

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 ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Climate change is thinning Arctic sea ice, but contrary to conventional wisdom that’s making shipping through the North American Arctic more difficult. A study published in Nature looked ...

Ice and its changes are an important part of the water cycle. In this activity, we’ll watch the melting of ice at different temperatures and in different conditions. Safety First! Read the Science ...
