This dual phenomenon paints a complicated picture of Greenland’s future. The melting ice contributes significantly to the rise of the global sea level while rising land reshapes the landscape.

Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, with a projected 20% reduction by 2050 under high carbon emissions.

A new study published in the journal Nature shows that glacier ice walls are vital for the climate, as they prevent rising ocean temperatures and melting glacier ice.

open image in gallery Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, according to researchers. An influx of freshwater from the ice sheets could have major implications for the ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current. Our new research suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar ...

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published today that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

Numerous studies have also shown that the melting of Greenland's ice sheet has picked up speed. If the ice mass, the second largest in the world after Antarctica, were to melt completely it could ...

As the melting of glaciers and poles keeps expanding ... government to share the community's findings and projections on ice melting and offer recommendations for better protection of glacial ...
