A comprehensive look at ocean temperatures along West Antarctic coast shows that a faster melt of the region's ice shelves is ...
West Antarctica contributed the most ice loss from the continent, shedding nearly 160 billion tons each year since 2012 Although the general trend was of reduction, there was some increase in ice ...
Scientists could be omitting a key data point from their predictions of how fast Antarctica's ice is melting, a new study published on Friday in Science Advances suggests. The study zooms in on ...
Ice shelves in the eastern Antarctic Peninsula have been thinning for hundreds of years, leaving them vulnerable to collapse in the face of climate change, according to research released Thursday. The ...
WASHINGTON: The melting of Antarctic ice shelves will double by 2050 and by 2100, melting may surpass all predictions if greenhouse gas emissions continue at the present rate, a new study has warned.
Craig Rye, an oceanography researcher at of the University of Southampton in the UK, with colleagues, has published the findings in Nature Geoscience. Sea levels around Antarctica are rising ...
It could be the largest civil-engineering project in American history. Where will the water that it is designed to hold back come from? Much of it will hail from Earth’s southernmost continent more ...
In 2009, a study quantified the speed of ecosystem migration due to climate change on a global scale, and documented, ...
John Moore is on a mission to slow down the melting of the world's widest glacier, nicknamed the 'doomsday glacier' for the havoc it could unleash on the world. The 74,000 square mile Thwaites ...
Since December 2023, a team of 100 researchers from the sixty-fifth Japanese Antarctic Expedition (headed by Hashida Gen, director of the National Institute of Polar Research) have been conducting ...
It carries more than 100 times as much water as all the world's rivers combined. It reaches from the ocean's surface to its ...
When he saw the 75-mile wide ice front of the remote Thwaites Glacier looming out of the Amundsen Sea for the first time in 2019, ice researcher James Kirkham felt a sense of foreboding.
