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 ...

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 ...

A rare, translucent, black-and-white crystal that sat in a box for 30 years has led scientists to a startling discovery: The East Antarctic ice sheet, which holds 80 percent of the world’s ice ...

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.

A new study suggests the melting of Antarctica’s ice sheet, driven by the climate crisis, may increase volcanic activity under the surface. Antarctica is home to over 100 volcanoes, many of ...

Citation: Antarctica's ice shelves could be melting faster than we thought (2022, August 12 ... Guiding fruit flies like micro-robots using pinwheels and light. 4 hours ago. 0.

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 ...

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 ...

Because Antarctica is home to 90 percent of the world's ice, massive floods would ensue if it melted. Indeed, if all of Antarctica's ice melts, global sea levels are predicted to rise by 190 feet .

Antarctica's melting ice is reaching a "tipping point" due to climate change, study finds New research indicates we've been underestimating how damaging climate change is in the South Pole ...

A pair of studies this week have shed new light on the melting of the Thwaites Glacier, one of Antarctica’s largest and most menacing stretches of ice. Often referred to as the “Doomsday ...

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 ...
