Stanford researchers have uncovered a critical missing piece in the complex puzzle of Antarctica’s ice movement, using ...

Peter Fretwell, mapping specialist and co-author at BAS, said in a statement: "In general, it's become clear the Antarctic Ice Sheet is thicker than we originally realised and has a larger volume ...

"In general, it's become clear the Antarctic ice sheet is thicker than we originally realized," said Peter Fretwell of the British Antarctic Survey, which produced the map. A mix of good news and ...

And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of some 150 billion tons per year, and growing greener in ... the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, the smaller half of Antarctica to ...

Their work reveals some of the fundamental physics governing the large-scale movements of the Antarctic ice sheet and could help improve predictions about how the continent will change in the future.

Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of the landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet, providing new insight into the continent’s future. A team led by the British Antarctic ...

Antarctic sea ice levels have been at record lows for the last three years, a global report shows. The World Meteorological Organisation's State of the Global Climate 2024 report also highlights three ...

In 1986, iceberg A23a broke off of the Filchner ice sheet deep in the Weddell Sea. This super-iceberg remained stuck on the bottom of the shallow Weddell Sea for decades, until it began to drift ...

It is no strange sight to see icebergs break off of the Antarctic ice cap and drift away, like the gigantic sheet of ice that is currently heading for the island of South Georgia. But climate ...

This innovative equipment detects weak microwave radiation energy emanating from within the Antarctic ice sheet, enabling it to map the temperature distribution from the ice surface down to the ...

The fourth Antarctic campaign of the Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has achieved a historic milestone this week, by successfully drilling a 2800-metre-long ice core, consisting of ice from the ...
