British Antarctic Survey : The first comprehensive review of the state of Antarctica’s climate and its relationship to the global climate system is published this week (Tuesday 1 December) by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). The review — Antarctic Climate Change and the Environment — presents the latest research from the icy continent, identifies areas...
A new study using NASA satellite data finds East Antarctica's ice sheet may not be as stable as previously thought. The results may have major climate implications.

From Discover Magazine: Climate change doesn’t affect all places equally, and while Greenland and West Antarctica’s glaciers have started slipping into the sea at an alarming rate, East Antarctica was actually gaining ice. But now that could be changing, as a Nature Geoscience study done with data from NASA’s gravity-measuring satellites called GRACE suggests that the...
Fifty years ago today, twelve nations signed The Antarctic Treaty, regulating research activity, economic exploitation, and territorial claims in Antarctica. To mark this occasion, Annie C. Lee of Fast Company has compiled eleven interesting facts about the frozen continent: 3. Antarctica’s biggest population center is the U.S.-operated McMurdo Station. In the summer, the community...
Fifty years after 12 countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, TIME looks back at who discovered the coldest place on earth -- and who remains in a place where the average temperature is -58 degrees Fahrenheit

Sea levels are likely to rise by about 1,4m globally by 2100 as polar ice melts, according to a major review of climate change in Antarctica. Conducted by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), it says that warming seas are accelerating melting in the west of the continent. Ozone loss has cooled the region, it says, shielding it from global warming. ...
From The Scotsman: A HUGE hole in the ozone layer has protected Antarctica from the impacts of global warming, according to scientists. The temperature across Antarctica has not risen over the past 30 years and there has been a 10 per cent increase in the amount of sea ice appearing during winter. Climate change sceptics regularly cite the lack of warming in Antarctica as evidence...

ANTARCTICA is turning green. Images of a white, barren continent could need updating as climate change brings more plants to its formerly frozen shores.
Signatories of the Antarctic Treaty meet in Washington this week to mark the 50th anniversary of a treaty protecting Antarctica. But five decades on, the challenges they pledged to face together have changed drastically.
... the cultural, to the environmental and political; his newest creation is Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica , a multimedia production that uses film and music to examine global warming. To make the piece, Miller traveled to Antarctica and constructed a portable studio to collect field recordings, capturing the acoustic qualities of Antarctic ice forms, and used them in the creation of...
