Research Reveals ‘Warm Water’ Flowing Toward One of Antarctica’s Biggest Ice Shelves Could Dramatically Raise Sea Levels ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

In several places around the continent, the ice extends over the ocean, where it forms large floating shelves. Observations suggest many of these ice shelves are thinning as they melt from below ...

An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the bordering Ronne Ice Shelf suggests that, contrary to some model reconstructions, the ice shelf survived this period at almost its current extent.

A team from the Polar Engineering Research Group at UCT has set off on their first field expedition to Antarctica.

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 ...

Both Steiger and Naughten highlighted the importance of long-term observations to better understand the region and predict future ice shelf changes. Ultimately, while scientists agree that warm ...

A23a, a massive iceberg nearly the size of Rhode Island, towering at 40 meters, is on a collision course with South Georgia.

The review is an important contribution to the understanding of the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic ... computer modeling informed by direct observations of the Antarctic Peninsula ...

Environmental scientists have been studying the Ronne Ice Shelf due to its massive size. Prior research has suggested that if it were to break away from the ice cap and melt, the result would be a ...
