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 ...

Scientists say glacier engineering could be a potential stopgap as the Earth passes a critical climate milestone. Others aren’t as convinced ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic did not melt during the last interglacial event, suggesting it could ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

Ice sheets in Greenland, Antarctica melting faster than previously thought ... communities as climate change melts the polar ice caps and sea levels rise.

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.

The Arctic ice cap is composed mainly of sea ice ... When they become smaller this effect is weakened. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to completely melt into the ocean, it would raise sea levels ...

The rapidly melting Antarctic ice sheet could trigger the eruption of over 100 volcanoes hidden beneath the ice. The thinning ice is destabilizing the volcano's magma chambers, say scientists.

The Thwaites Glacier is one of many bodies of ice that are melting, but this massive, Antarctic glacier is uniquely important when it comes to sea level rise. “We’re talking a ...

Sadly, the melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet shows no sign of slowing, in fact, due to a process known as the ice-albedo feedback—when less reflective ice surface decreases solar reflectance ...
