New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the ...

A new Australian study has unveiled a direct connection between the rapid decline of Antarctic sea ice and the collapse of ...

New research into some of Earth’s largest ice sheets has revealed a startling new Antarctic tipping point, and researchers say that it has the potential to be disastrous.

New research has for the first time tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-ups to three ...

Antarctic ice shelves hold twice as much meltwater as previously thought Date: June 27, 2024 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: Slush -- water-soaked snow -- makes up more than half of all ...

On the Antarctic Plateau, the coldest place on the planet, the Concordia Research station hit its highest temperature reading ever in early 2022 at -12.2 degrees Celsius (10.04 degrees Fahrenheit ...

Antarctic ice shelves have experienced only minor changes in surface melt rates over the past four decades, unlike the rapid increase in surface melt experienced by Greenland's glaciers during ...

These Antarctic ice shelves lost around 8.3 trillion tons (7.5 trillion metric tons) during the study period, which is an average loss of 330 billion tons (300 billion metric tons) each year.

Ice shelves are thinning, glaciers are flowing faster towards the ocean and the ice sheet is shrinking. While ocean temperature measurements in this region are limited, modelling suggests it may ...

Slush—water-soaked snow—makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models.
