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 ...

Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

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 ...

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

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

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

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

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

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 ...

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