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

The gushing spout of warm water could rapidly melt the Antarctic ice shelf and lead to rising sea levels sooner than we think.

Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

These rifts can be detected as they form and grow using satellite data ... more numerous small calving events have dominated Antarctic ice shelf loss over the last half century.
