New research suggests melting ice sheets are warming global temperatures which may speed up continental drift, creating ...

At the end of the last Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, the melting of massive glaciers may have done more than just raise ...

While the Statue of Liberty may not be submerged, low-lying places like Ellis Island could be underwater. By 2100, sea-level ...

UN weather agency issues ‘red alert’ on climate change after record heat, ice-melt increases in 2023 The U.N. weather agency is sounding a "red alert" about global warming, citing record ...

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of years. New research, however, suggests this drift can speed up or slow down ...

Recent scientific studies reveal that melting ice sheets in West Antarctica might trigger volcanic activity, creating a cycle that speeds up ice loss and sea-level rise. Scientists studying Earth ...

As rising temperatures melt Antarctica’s ice sheet and cause more precipitation, the Southern Ocean’s upper layer is growing less salty – and thus, less dense. This creates a lid that limits the ...

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

Melting ice sheets could shift the North Pole 89 feet (27 meters) by 2100, according to a new study. | Credit: Sean Gallup via Getty Images Dramatic ice melt due to climate change may move the ...

Antarctic ice sheet background About 90% of the ice on Earth is located in Antarctica; if all this ice were to melt, the global sea level would rise by more than 50 meters. In addition, the ice ...
