Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

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 ...

The study fills critical knowledge gaps. Scientists make ominous discovery about volcanoes beneath Antarctic ice sheet first appeared on The Cool Down.

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 ...

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 findings are published in the ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic did not melt during the last interglacial event, suggesting it could ...

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 ...

Researchers believe the ice near the continent's Dome C North is up to 2 million years old. They plan to extract a cross-section 3 kilometres deep. Australian scientists have begun a new major ice ...

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are both losing net mass to the ocean, mostly through increased melting from the atmosphere and the ocean. Scientists are increasingly alarmed at the changes ...

The great ice streams of the Antarctic and Greenland are like frozen rivers, carrying ice from the massive inland ice sheets to the sea – and a change in their dynamics will contribute significantly ...
