His research was part of the US Antarctic Program ... One of the main examples can be the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) which happened around 55 million years back.

The station, a key hub for the U.S. Antarctic Program, is home to more than 500 personnel during the harsh winter months when flights in or out are nearly impossible. Temperatures had hovered near ...

Basalt samples, meanwhile, represent more recent history, originating from the Eocene epoch around 40 million years ago. These findings challenge previous assumptions about Zealandia’s formation.

This new ice appeared just weeks after Antarctic sea ice hit its annual minimum, tying the second-smallest extent recorded by satellites. Despite the widespread summer melt around much of the ...

Vasuki lived much later, during the warmer Eocene epoch, approximately 47 million years ago. Unlike the water-loving Titanoboa, Vasuki's skeletal structure points to it being primarily a terrestrial ...

Last year, in partnership with other research institutions, the Polar Research Institute of China released a 12-year development outline for Antarctic clean energy utilization technology ...

Antarctic cruises are ideal for intrepid explorers wanting to discover the white wilderness of the South Pole. A land of spectacular scenery and unique wildlife, many cruises of the southern ...

The monsoon-like climate of the Antarctic content at the end of the Eocene would have had to change drastically – or tip – to allow for glaciation during the transition to the Oligocene. Since the ...

About 90 percent of Antarctic cruises depart from Ushuaia, Argentina. Many of those passengers will spend a night or two in town, where they may take day trips to see penguins in places like ...

But a new study suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which until now has been extremely stable, might begin to slow down in the next 25 years, with potentially severe consequences for ...

"This system signals a shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy in Antarctic exploration," said Sun Hongbin, a leading polar energy scientist and president of Taiyuan University of Technology ...

Professor Steven Chown and Dr Linda Armbrecht have received 2025 Academy honorific awards for their Antarctic research. Two distinguished researchers in the field of Antarctic science and conservation ...
