A new study by the British Antarctic Survey concludes warmer seawater may work in a similar way on the undersides of ground-based ice sheets, melting them faster than previously thought.

The Antarctic ice sheet is melting in a new, worrying way that scientific models used to project future sea level rise have not taken into account, suggesting current projections could be ...

New Monash research has untangled the influence of regional climate drivers, including the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and ...

Scientists have for the first time taken in-situ ocean measurements during the collapse of a giant iceberg in the ...

Looking that far back presents a foreboding peek into the future, as satellite records show that melting Antarctic ice sheets ...

"We have identified the possibility of a new tipping-point in Antarctic ice sheet melting," says Alex Bradley, an ice dynamics researcher at BAS and lead author of the new paper. "This means our ...

Around 34 million years ago, our planet experienced a significant shift in climate, transitioning from a greenhouse world to ...

During this time, the Antarctic ice sheet built up. How, when and, above all, where, was not yet known due to a lack of reliable data and samples from key regions, especially from West Antarctica ...
