Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.

Did you know that the ice in Greenland and Antarctica is melting faster than ever? 🌍 This rapid change has serious ...

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimeters.

These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...

As polar ice continues to melt at alarming rates, Arctic and Antarctic wildlife are facing unprecedented challenges. From ...

Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...

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 ...

As the ice sheets melt, eruptions may become more common – and stronger If you picture Antarctica, a continent roughly the size of the US and Mexico combined, an endless white void probably ...

Melting ice may cause dozens of volcanoes beneath Antarctica's colossal ice sheet to erupt and trigger a troubling feedback loop of environmental damage, scientists have warned. A new study by ...

The rapidly melting Antarctic ice sheet could trigger the eruption of over 100 volcanoes hidden beneath the ice. The thinning ice is destabilizing the volcano's magma chambers, say scientists.
