While satellites are excellent for analyzing other features of sea ice in Antarctica, including its coverage, they are less effective at determining fast ice thickness. A recent study has provided ...

Arctic daily sea ice extent continued to hover near record daily lows in January, with the ice edge well northward of its ...

Scientists have successfully analyzed more than 30 years of vital data on the thickness of landfast sea ice in Antarctica's McMurdo Sound, which will prove useful to measure future impacts of climate ...

A Dec. 26, 2024, Instagram post (direct link, archive link) shows maps of purported Antarctic sea ice extent, or area, from Dec. 24, 1979, and the same day in 2024. Text above the graphic says the ...

University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka scientists have successfully analysed more than 30 years of vital data on the ...

The claim: Polar sea ice extents show climate change is a 'scam' A Dec. 23, 2024, Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows a map of Antarctic sea ice extent, or area, with color coding that ...

Australian scientists are monitoring the rapid melt of Denman Glacier, one of the largest frozen rivers in East Antarctica.

However, he and other researchers say sea level rise due to melting ice still poses a major risk. “It implies there was not a complete deglaciation of western Antarctica, but it doesn’t give ...

In particular, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is grounded below sea level, so as sea level rises due to the melting ice, it becomes further submerged and accelerates retreat. Complicating matters ...

Climate change − a global phenomenon − can neither be confirmed nor disproven by comparing Antarctic sea ice extent on two individual days.

A Dec. 26, 2024, Instagram post shows maps of purported Antarctic sea ice extent, or area, from Dec. 24, 1979, and the same day in 2024. Text above the graphic says the extent was larger in 2024 ...
