The product of a new study led by researchers from the British Antarctic Survey and published in Scientific Data, this incredibly vivid map of the actual topography of the Antarctic continent is ...

He explains that Antarctica’s buried topography greatly influences how ice moves toward the ocean. “Imagine pouring syrup over a rock cake— all the lumps, all the bumps, will determine where ...

A team of international scientists has created a map revealing Antarctica's topography beneath its miles of ice after compiling more than 60 years of data. Newsweek reached out to British ...

A hole the size of Switzerland opened in Antarctic ice over Maud Rise, driven by ocean heat, storms, and topography—raising ...

An overlooked Antarctic water system could raise sea levels by more than 2 meters by 2300, computer simulations show.

A variety of techniques, including radar, seismic reflection (sound waves), and gravity measurements, sense the landscape of the rock bed under Antarctica's ice. Subtracting this topography ...

Researchers have probed the depths under Antarctic ice to reveal a map of the Gamburtsev Mountains (see inset to the right). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy ...

An iceberg the size of Chicago broke off am Antarctic ice shelf to reveal a thriving ecosystem underneath, according to researchers.

On the other hand, an understanding of the response of the Antarctic ice sheet to ongoing global warming has been desired. Using originally developed, satellite-derived dynamic ocean topography ...
