Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...

While sea levels are certain to rise this century ... "How does the ocean melt Antarctic ice shelves?" Computer simulations of ocean processes aren't new. But only recently have simulations ...

Maps created by combining different models of glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath Antarctica ...

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

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include rainfall, according to new research.

This melting comes despite Antarctica ... slowing the flow of glaciers into the sea, and playing a crucial role in stabilizing the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The pale blue meltwater pools seen on ...

The melting of a massive ice shelf like FRIS would ultimately ... continental shelf that rings the coast of Antarctica in the Weddell Sea. However, in the summer, warmer water comes up onto ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels . Ice shelves in Antarctica ice shelves act as keystones, stabilising the ...
