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

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

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

The size variations in the Antarctic ice sheet over time have confirmed its unstable nature, made worse by greenhouse ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey have used ice core records to draw new conclusions ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

Scientists in the Antarctic have successfully extracted the world's oldest ice—drilling down 1.7 miles for ice samples a ...

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

Led by The Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR), the scientists worked for more than 200 days, drilling into the ice and processing the ice core at a remote ...

an ice core scientist at British Antarctic Survey. The core was slowly pulled from the ice sheet using a drill machinery and scientists carefully carefully cleaned the ice using cloths. It is now ...
