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

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 ...

Rising Sea Levels When you think about the ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, you're really looking at the biggest reason our sea levels are rising. It's pretty surprising, but these icy places ...

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.

A parliamentary report has called on for a second icebreaking vessel and more reliable funding for Antarctic research.

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.

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