Using deep-diving robots, researchers discovered that heat trapped in the ocean beneath the surface was suddenly released, accelerating ice melt. Changes in salinity, stronger winds, and ocean mixing played a key role in bringing this hidden warmth upward. The findings highlight how complex ocean processes—not just rising air temperatures—are driving dramatic changes in Earth’s climate system. Check out the full story here.
