Review suggests polar geoengineering ideas could do more harm than good
Read more of: Review suggests polar geoengineering ideas could do more harm than goodWell-publicised geoengineering ideas are highly unlikely to help the polar regions and could harm ecosystems, communities, international relations, and our chances of reaching net zero by 2050. This is according to a new assessment, published in the journal Frontiers in Science today (9 September 2025).

New research links ocean tides to when icebergs in Antarctica break off
Read more of: New research links ocean tides to when icebergs in Antarctica break offA new study has revealed that ocean tides can directly influence when massive Antarctic icebergs break off from the ice shelves surrounding the continent, a process known as calving. The research marks a major step toward accurately forecasting ice loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and improving projections of global sea level rise.
