While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

While that scenario is extreme, it shows how much water is stored in Antarctica and how important it is to our climate. Antarctic ice sheets are the thermostat of the planet, and that thermostat ...

Geoengineering proposals to cool the ocean would indeed reduce ice loss from West Antarctica’s glaciers, but not enough to stop sea-level rise or allow the ice sheet to regrow.

But in our new research, we show the widespread collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is avoidable if we can keep global warming below the Paris target of 2℃. In West Antarctica, the interior ...
