Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...

Many of us know Antarctica as a land of ice and not much else. But hidden beneath the miles of glaciers and ice sheets lies a landmass that was last exposed 40 million years ago. China to Accept ...

The effective pressure under the Antarctic ice sheet describes how easily the ice flows atop the layer of water separating the ice from the bedrock. The new maps combine the bed topography ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame? When you purchase through links on ...

The size of the Antarctic ice sheet can be hard to comprehend ... The energetic flow of meltwater as it rises under steep ice leads to mixing with the warmer ocean waters. This increases melting.
