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

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 ...

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

‘Under these conditions, we find that the removal of an ice sheet above a volcano results in more abundant and larger eruptions.’ Of the at least 138 volcanoes in Antarctica, the majority are ...

1 of 2 NASA image of blue meltwater pools on the Amery Ice Sheet in Antarctica on January 1. These pools may weaken the ice shelf if the water leaks through fissures into the ice. NASA Earth ...

A historic ice core recently drilled from deep beneath the Antarctic surface by the Beyond ... the intervals between glacial cycles — wherein ice sheets expanded over much of the continents ...

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

In one of the modeling scenarios, the team removed a 3,280-foot-thick ice sheet over the course of 300 years, which is considered moderate melting for West Antarctica, and found a significant ...

The sample extended so deep that it reached the bedrock beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The core, nearly as long as 25 soccer fields end to end or six and a half times taller than the Empire ...

where the Antarctic ice sheet meets bedrock. The drilling was completed earlier this month at a location called Little Dome C near the Concordia Research Station in southeastern Antarctica.

reaching the depth of 2,800 meters—where the Antarctic ice sheet meets the bedrock. The extracted ice preserves an unprecedented record of Earth’s climate history, continuous information on ...

when an iceberg roughly the size of Delaware broke off the Antarctic ice sheet. A once in a century eventcould produce an iceberg about 45,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than the entire co ...
