An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

The size variations in the Antarctic ice sheet over time have confirmed its unstable nature, made worse by greenhouse ...

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

Much of this uncertainty is because the ocean processes that control the fate of the sheet occur on an incredibly small scale ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey have used ice core records to draw new conclusions ...

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...
