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

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 ...

The Interannual Variability of Antarctic Fast‐Ice Thickness in McMurdo Sound and Connections to Climate. Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans , 2024; 129 (12) DOI: 10.1029/2023JC020134 Cite ...

Smaller calving events, not large icebergs, drive Antarctic ice sheet loss. Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate ...

Scientists have been studying the melting of Arctic glaciers for years. In addition to the progressive warming of the climate ...

indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be vulnerable to complete collapse caused by climate change – a worst-case situation that could raise sea levels by metres. But large uncerta ...

Scientists have likened the growth and melting of ice sheets in Antarctica to that of a human heartbeat. The size variations in the Antarctic ice sheet over time have confirmed its unstable nature ...

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 ...

when an iceberg roughly the size of Delaware broke off the Antarctic ice sheet. A once in a century eventcould produce an iceberg about 45,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than the entire co ...

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.

Antarctic ice loss linked to increased volcanic activity, research sho Magma chambers expand under reduced pressure from melting ice sheets Study connects ice sheet melting to eruptive patterns ...
