Ice Sheet in East Antarctica Has Melted Earlier

Sixty per cent of the world's fresh water is bound up in Antarctic ice sheets. Thirty million cubic kilometres of ice is perhaps a difficult number to grasp. But if absolutely all Antarctica's ice melted, the seas would rise by 58 metres on average.

Uncovering the Underlying Mechanisms of Record-Low Sea Ice Area

Antarctic sea ice is a key component of the climate system and may serve as an early indicator of climate change. Substantial changes in Antarctic sea ice have been reported as a result of global warming.

Research Shows How Countries Have Contributed to Global Warming Through Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Research published today shows how countries have contributed to global warming through their emissions of key greenhouse gases since 1850 - marking a new effort to track impacts in a critical decade for climate policy.

Eco-Friendly Foam Insulation Leads to Better Building Efficiency

Rigid foam boards used to insulate buildings can prevent energy loss, making homes more efficient at keeping warm or cool. The advantages in energy efficiency, however, are undercut by environmental concerns over polystyrene products.

Increasing Temperatures Reduce Greenhouse Gas Sink Function of Pristine Wetlands

Wetlands occupy about 6% of the Earth's surface but store one-third of global soil organic carbon. Increasing evidence shows that climate warming is altering the function and service of wetland ecosystems.

Does Warming Impact the Mitigation Potential of Pristine Wetlands?

Wetlands cover about 6% of the Earth’s surface and yet store one-third of the world’s soil organic carbon. Climate warming is changing the function and service of wetland ecosystems, according to growing evidence.

Arctic Sea-Ice Likely to Melt in the Coming Decades

According to recent research, Arctic Sea ice could soon be a thing of the past during summer. The ice melted at temperatures equivalent to the current temperature 10,000 years ago. This could have an impact on the climate and the ecosystems.
