Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

The continent’s ice shelves, large floating extensions of ice over the ocean, are of particular interest. Observations show that many of these ice shelves are thinning due to melting from below, with ...

The majority of ice melt products on store shelves claim to be "pet-friendly" or "pet safe." Realistically, any ...

Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...

The Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica, one of the continent’s largest and most critical ice formations, is experiencing unprecedented and rapid melting at an alarming pace. Recent satellite ...
