New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

A fresh set of numbers is changing what scientists thought happens when a city‑sized slab of ice dissolves into the sea. The ...

Our simulations of the 1.5°C scenario show ice-shelf melting starting to plateau by the end of the century, suggesting that further changes in the 22nd century and beyond may still be preventable.

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Antarctic ice shelves hold twice as much meltwater as previously thought, according to new research. The findings could have profound implications for ice shelf stability and sea level rise, say ...

Feb. 25, 2021 — Antarctica's northern George VI Ice Shelf experienced record melting during the 2019-2020 summer season compared to 31 previous summers of dramatically lower melt, a new study found.

A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ...

Rapid melting of West Antarctica’s ice shelves may now be unavoidable as human-caused global warming accelerates, with potentially devastating implications for sea level rise around the world ...

These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...

Map of Antarctica showing the ice shelves along its coastline. The paper, “Tipping point in ice-sheet grounding-zone melting due to ocean water intrusion,” indicates that the ice sheets are ...

On Jan. 1, NASA satellite technology captured surreal images of blue meltwater ponds along the Amery Ice Shelf, the third largest in Antarctica.These pools, which normally develop from Nov. 1 ...

Melting ice is diluting the ocean, disrupting the vital ocean current. ... exacerbating the melting of Antarctic ice shelves and contributing to global sea-level rise.
