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

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is ...

Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres. They happen in a thin layer of ocean, just beneath the ice.

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...

Australian scientists are monitoring the rapid melt of Denman Glacier, one of the largest frozen rivers in East Antarctica.
