Antarctic ice sheet may be less vulnerable to collapse than expectedThe West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...
Ice core analysis from the Ronne Ice Shelf in West Antarctica indicates it did not melt during the last interglacial period, suggesting resilience to current climate change.
Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...

Scientists Worried As One Major Problem Could Be Putting Antarctica’s Largest Ice Shelf at RiskThe gushing spout of warm water could rapidly melt the Antarctic ice shelf and lead to rising sea levels sooner than we think.
In February 2018, NASA revealed that El Niño events cause the Antarctic ice shelf to melt up to ten inches (25 centimeters) each year. El Niño and La Niña are separate events that alter the ...
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 ...
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough fresh water to raise sea levels by around 3-4 metres. This ice sheet is particularly vulnerable to warming because its bowl shape allows seawater to flow ...
Antarctica’s ice shelves, which form three-quarters of its coastline, are vital for the stability of the massive ice sheets that contain about 60% of the world’s freshwater. With a complete melt of ...
"What if the iron stones were warming up to the point where they would actually melt the glacial ice beneath them and sink ...
Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...
