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

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

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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

Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be vulnerable to complete collapse caused by climate change – a worst-case situation that could raise sea levels by metres. But large uncerta ...

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 ...
