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

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 ...

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 ...

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

The size variations in the Antarctic ice sheet over time have confirmed its unstable nature, made worse by greenhouse ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

Scientists in the Antarctic have successfully extracted the world's oldest ice—drilling down 1.7 miles for ice samples a ...

Scientists have mapped Antarctica’s ice-free ecosystems, highlighting their biodiversity and growing climate threats.

Led by The Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR), the scientists worked for more than 200 days, drilling into the ice and processing the ice core at a remote ...
