A growing body of sediment core studies and ice-sheet simulations is sharpening the picture of how warm ocean water has repeatedly destabilized Antarctic ice over thousands of years. Multiple ...

Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean floor, sediment cores hold secrets that could reshape how scientists predict Earth's climate future. These deep-sea layers capture snapshots of ancient oceans, revealing ...

A new scientific model is giving researchers an unprecedented, global look at the activities of clams, worms, and other invertebrate animals that burrow at the bottom of the ocean. And what they find ...

Deep sea sediments contain treasure troves of information about marine ecosystems and past climate scenarios, yet remain understudied clues into Earth's environmental future, according to researchers.

Onboard a ship off the icy coast of Greenland, Anne Jennings and the crew have been paying close attention to Fred, a massive, jagged iceberg, for the past two weeks. “It’s really beautiful and ...

An international team featuring faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York has drilled the longest ever sediment core from under an ice sheet, providing a record stretching back ...

For two months, a team of researchers from ten countries lived and worked in a remote field camp in West Antarctica. Their efforts have culminated in the recovery of a remarkable record of past ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Deep sea sediments contain treasure troves of information about marine ecosystems and past climate scenarios, yet remain understudied clues into Earth’s environmental future, ...

Scientific ocean drilling has revolutionized studies of Earth’s climate system and has produced the most important geological archives of global climate history. Combining scientific ocean drilling ...
