Scientists say that hidden melting beneath Antarctica’s ice could rapidly reshape sea levels, but they do not know when.

Some regions of the continent have enough ice to push up sea levels by 15 metres if they all melt, but researchers don’t yet fully understand the consequences ...

The study challenges a long-held assumption. Researchers issue warning on concerning phenomenon discovered in Antarctica: 'A ...

Headlines about melting ice sheets usually focus on what is lost and then move on. What comes next is often overlooked, even though it matters just as much. A new study of East Antarctica reaches back ...

Antarctic sea ice has been melting rapidly, and this, in addition to being a scientific concern, has become a concrete threat to global climate balance. The melting ice cover has been observed in ...

(THE CONVERSATION) When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from ...

Beneath Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf lies one of the least measured oceans on Earth—a vast, dark cavity roughly twice the ...

The map shows diverse geological features shaping Antarctic glaciers from below, which can improve climate models of ice melt.

Integration of proxy records with ocean–climate modeling reveals that early Holocene ice-shelf retreat in East Antarctica was driven by oceanic forcing enhanced by meltwater discharge from neighboring ...

Scientists have discovered there is more to Antarctica than meets the eye. A new map of the landscape beneath the frozen ...
