Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves may be at risk of disappearing under high-emission scenarios by 2300, according to a comprehensive analysis of the effect of ocean warming published in Nature. This ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on ...

Around 9,000 years ago, East Antarctica went through a dramatic meltdown that was anything but isolated. Scientists have discovered that warm deep ocean water surged beneath the region’s floating ice ...

An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse, captured ...

Worrying new research into Antarctic ice shelves has uncovered a previously unknown source that's hastening their decline. An article in EOS reported that researchers have been closely monitoring the ...

Berry Glacier, a tributary of the Getz Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, has deteriorated dramatically in the past three decades, ...

ANTARCTICA -- An iceberg nearly the size of Greater London broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica on Sunday according to the British Antarctic Survey. Scientists first discovered significant ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The ...

The Ross Ice Shelf appears to be melting in previously unknown ways. This is an Inside Science story. Most of the worry over melting ice in Antarctica has focused on the rapidly melting western shore, ...
