An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic did not melt during the last interglacial event, suggesting it could ...

indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be as vulnerable as we thought to complete collapse caused by climate change – a worst-case situation that could raise sea levels by metres.

“Atmospheric rivers” are bringing rain to the frozen slopes of the West Antarctic ice sheet, hitting the ice shelves that ...

Study reveals potential "ticking time bomb" beneath West Antarctic Ice Sheet, as ice 'corks' over 100 volcanoes melt away. Illustration. (photo credit: jet 67. Via Shutterstock) A new study ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey have used ice core records to draw new conclusions about how Antarctica was ...

“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 ...

The formation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet occurred differently than was previously assumed. An international team led by U Bremen Research Alliance researchers made a surprising discovery using a ...

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...

In the west of Dotson—which experiences cold ... uncertainty in our understanding of the contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet to global sea level rise. However, incorporating our new ...

New research has revealed a key link between melting Antarctic ice and increased volcanic activity, raising concerns about long-term impacts on global sea levels, the Daily Mail reports.
