Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

Rising Sea Levels When you think about the ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, you're really looking at the biggest ...

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

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

Ice core analysis from the Ronne Ice Shelf in West Antarctica indicates it did not melt during the last interglacial period, suggesting resilience to current climate change.

What can't be seen is the battle raging thousands of feet (hundreds of meters) below to re-shape Earth. Water is eating away at the Antarctic ice, melting it where it hits the oceans. As the ice ...

If all the ice sheets were to melt due to global warming, Antarctica would raise global sea levels by at least 183 feet (56 m). Given their size, even small losses in the ice sheets could have ...

There is indirect evidence that, during the last interglacial period, about 125,000 years ago, parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated. An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the ...

It's been a year since the underwater vehicle Ran vanished beneath a glacier in Antarctica. Owned by the University of ...

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

A study by University of Florida researchers found that Antarctic ice shelf loss is primarily driven by frequent small calving events rather than large iceberg break-offs. Using satellite data and ...
