Antarctic glaciers strongly influence the ocean, providing freshwater and nutrients to the sea when they melt, and pushing up sea levels globally. They are also vulnerable to ocean warming, becoming more unstable and calving more frequently. To understand better how…
Exploring Polar Ocean Observations Each point in this animation represents a different observing platform — with colours distinguishing between moored buoys, gliders, animal-borne instruments, ARGO profilers, CTD casts, and more. What you see are the last recorded positions where each…
The majority of Antarctic ice shelves are set to disappear if greenhouse gas emissions keep increasing A group of researchers from Grenoble, including OCEAN ICE participants, estimated dates, in given anthropogenic emission scenarios, beyond which individual ice shelves can no…

Understanding where freshwater in the ocean comes from — and how it moves — is crucial for predicting changes in ocean circulation and climate.In our new paper, Xabier, Elaine et al. used a machine learning approach to trace freshwater sources from precipitation, ice…
