Antarctica Undergoes Greenlandification As Ice Melt Accelerates
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Published: 10 March 2026
A Nature Geoscience study warns Antarctica is experiencing Greenlandification — increasing surface melt, sea ice loss, and accelerated iceberg calving — mirroring Greenland rapid ice decline with global sea level implications.

Published: 17 April 2026
Northeastern University research reveals climate models are too sensitive to greenhouse gases, overemphasizing a feedback loop involving wind speed, ocean temperature, and evaporation, explaining why Southern Hemisphere oceans are warming faster than models predict.
