The pristine world of Antarctica, a kingdom of ice and ... and erosion. The faster those ice shelves melt, the sooner this threat becomes a harsh reality, forcing difficult choices about ...
Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...
Heavy pooling meltwater can fracture ice, potentially leading to ice shelf collapse. When air temperatures in Antarctica rise and glacier ice melts, water can pool on the surface of floating ice ...
New research has uncovered a feedback loop that may be accelerating the melting of the floating portions of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, pushing up global sea levels. The study sheds new light on the ...
In late February and early March, two record melt events for that time of year occurred on the Antarctic Peninsula. Overall, ...
Some 7,000 years ago, West Antarctica’s ice sheet retreated, most likely driven by warmer ocean currents slipping under the ...
Antarctica's ice shelves could be melting up to 40% faster than we thought, study warns Antarctica's ice shelves could be melting up to 40 per cent faster than we thought due to coastal ocean ...
New research has found a "missing piece of the puzzle" of West Antarctic Ice Sheet melt, revealing that the collapse of the ...
Can it reach through Antarctica’s cold, fast currents of air and water ... But that’s enough to begin melting ice shelves, which are at or below freezing point. As you’d expect, the longer ...
Researchers have uncovered a surprising phenomenon in Antarctica ... into the ocean.If the Ross Ice Shelf weakens and breaks apart, it could accelerate ice melt rates and sea level rise.
