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

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 ...

While sea levels are certain to rise this century ... "How does the ocean melt Antarctic ice shelves?" Computer simulations of ocean processes aren't new. But only recently have simulations ...

Scientists know that the loss of Antarctic sea ice can diminish penguin numbers, cause ice shelves to melt in warmer waters, and impede the Southern Ocean from absorbing carbon dioxide.

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 ...

The Phenomenon of Melting Glaciers Melting glaciers are more than just a picturesque transformation of ice into water; they signify an environmental crisis unfolding before our eyes. These majestic ...

As the ice sheets melt, eruptions may become more common – and stronger If you picture Antarctica ... If all the ice vanished, global sea levels would rise by about 200 feet – a little ...

In particular, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is grounded below sea level, so as sea level rises due to the melting ice, it becomes further submerged and accelerates retreat. Complicating matters ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...

What does the megaberg heading for South Georgia Island near the Antarcitc mean for the penguins, birds, and seals that make it their home.

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...
