But if the current begins to weaken, it would allow warmer water to seep in closer to the ice shelves, speeding up the melting of Antarctic ice. “Faster ice melting could then lead to further ...

New research suggests melting ice sheets are warming global temperatures which may speed up continental drift, creating ...

Icebergs as large as cities, potentially tens of kilometres wide, once roved the coasts of the UK, according to scientists.

A new study found parts of Antartica could pass a tipping point for mass ice sheet losses as soon as 2050 – pushing sea levels 2 metres higher by 2300 than currently predicted.

Giant icebergs once scraped the seafloor near Britain, offering clues about ancient ice shelves and future sea-level rise.

This is no longer the case. Antarctic sea ice is now melting at an alarming rate. This is a problem because its sea ice holds in place coastal ice shelves, which themselves ring its glaciers and ice ...

One of the biggest challenges in predicting Antarctica's deeply uncertain ... It can also cause further melting under ice shelves, leading to even faster ice loss. So it's crucial to understand ...

the largest ice shelf in Antarctica. The research aimed to measure changes in ice thickness and basal melt—melting that occurs at the base of a glacier or ice shelf—to establish a precise ...
