A 2013 NASA study found that between 2003 and 2008, 55% of ice loss from Antarctic ice shelves – the part of the ice sheet that floats on the ocean – was due to melting from contact with ocean ...

Scientists illustrate that ice-clad Antarctica is losing over six times as much ice as it was in 1980s, and it's eastern glaciers are now a big factor.

The study, published in the journal Science, measures the thickness of Antarctica’s ice shelves — floating sheets of ice that extend from glaciers out into the ocean.Using satellite radar data ...

Antarctica's ice melting at an alarming rate 00:21. NEW YORK --The rate at which ice is melting on Antarctica has tripled in recent years, according to a study published Wednesday in Nature, a ...

Antarctica’s ice sheet is melting far faster than previously thought, with more than 200 billion tonnes of ice flooding into oceans annually, according to new research published in Nature this week.

The ice in Antarctica is melting six times faster than it did 40 years ago, according to a new study.. This acceleration of the ice loss is a clear indication of human-caused climate change, the ...

Only twice before have humans pierced the deep interior of the Ross Ice Shelf to study its underlying ocean. In 1977, researchers drilled through the ice shelf 300 miles in from its seaward edge ...

Antarctica isn’t subject to the same weather as the Arctic; most of it remains below freezing in the summer, so there is very little melting of the ice. Antarctica’s sea ice continues to grow ...

Antarctica’s ice is melting three times faster today than just a decade ago. Eitan Abramovich / AFP - Getty Images file June 19, 2018, 11:48 AM EDT / Updated June 19, 2018, 3:02 PM EDT ...

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn.. A new study suggests the melting ...
