Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

Ice in Antarctica has melted more than in previous years as a result of global warming, says a Thai research team.The Thai expedition was conducted under the royal initiative of Her Royal Highness ...

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

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 millimeters.

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.

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is that eruptions proximate to surface ice will promote ice melting. In turn, the ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...
