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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

when an iceberg roughly the size of Delaware broke off the Antarctic ice sheet. A once in a century eventcould produce an iceberg about 45,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than the entire co ...

Researchers found 100+ volcanoes beneath Antarctic ice along the active West Antarctic Rift System, dating back to the ...

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

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.
