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

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Rapid Melting of West Antarctic Ice Shelves Is ‘Unavoidable,’ Study Finds Even under a best-case climate scenario, global sea levels will likely rise because of this accelerated melting ...

After studying the surface melt of one Antarctic ice shelf from 1980 to 2021, Banwell decided to look at all the continent's ice shelves to see how (and if) they have changed over the past 40 years.

The claim: Study shows Antarctic ice isn't melting, growing overall instead. A June 9 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows a graphic depicting Antarctic ice shelf change that was ...

The ocean melts ice shelves from below—a process known as "basal melting." Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels .

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 ...

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 ...

A new model developed by Caltech and JPL researchers suggests that Antarctica's ice shelves may be melting at an accelerated rate, which could eventually contribute to more rapid sea level rise.
