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

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Most ice shelves in East Antarctica, however, increased in volume or stayed the same. The east, Davison said, is not as exposed to the warm water like the other side of the continent.

More than 40% of Antarctica’s ice shelves have shrunk over the past 25 years, a study published Thursday found, as scientists warn they’re losing volume with no sign of recovery because of the ...

The Pine Island Ice Shelf, about 1,300 feet thick over most of its area, is a dramatic case: It thinned by an average of 150 feet from 1994 to 2012.

Study: Antarctic ice shelf will collapse no matter what we do The melt, which will take years, will eventually add nearly 6 feet to sea levels ...

Ice shelves are the part of ice sheets — a form of glacier — that float over water. Three of those shelves in North Greenland have "completely" collapsed, researchers said, ...

The biggest ice shelf in Antarctica is slipping — a first-of-its-kind discovery related to our warming world. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters in March showed that the Ross Ice ...

The Amery Ice Shelf on the other side of Antarctica gained 1.3 trillion tons (1.2 trillion metric tons) of ice as a result of the cold water, even though the region lost a huge slab of ice when it ...

On Jan. 1, NASA satellite technology captured surreal images of blue meltwater ponds along the Amery Ice Shelf, the third largest in Antarctica.These pools, which normally develop from Nov. 1 ...

What Is Happening to Ice Shelves? Ice shelves have always melted, but in an era of warming polar environments, it’s now happening at a faster rate.Most melting happens where the ice meets the ocean ...

University of California, Davis professor Eric Rignot just published more data he asserts support the notion that the Thwaites ice shelf is in imminent danger of self-destruction. He further ...
