Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on ...

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

making the ice shelves so thick that they can’t even move over bays. open image in gallery The melt rate of West Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is an important concern. The glacier alone is ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...
