Sea level doesn’t rise at the same rate everywhere – we mapped where Antarctica’s ice melt would have the biggest impact

While Antarctic meltwater drives rising sea levels, models show it also delays greenhouse gas-induced warming. That’s because ...

Study finds increased melting of Antarctic ice is 'unavoidable'

A study published Monday finds parts of Antarctica's ice shelves are expected to melt in the coming years, no matter how much progress is made to slash greenhouse emissions and mitigate global warming ...

A delicate Antarctic balance with global climate implications

New findings about ocean processes in the Antarctic show melting ice shelves and changes to sea ice could have catastrophic ...

Hundreds of Earthquakes Detected at Antarctica's 'Doomsday' Glacier

In a new study soon to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, I present evidence for hundreds of these quakes in ...

Scientists warn Antarctic ice melt could trigger climate tipping point

Antarctic sea ice has been melting rapidly, and this, in addition to being a scientific concern, has become a concrete threat to global climate balance. The melting ice cover has been observed in ...

Scientists spot ocean ‘storms’ rapidly melting Antarctica’s doomsday glacier — What’s driving it?

Antarctica’s key glaciers are melting faster as underwater storms churn warm water upward. New research reveals surprising ...

Map Shows What Antarctica Will Look Like Without Ice

Last week, the BAS released Bedmap3, "the most detailed map yet" of Antarctica's landscape beneath its blanket of ice, a ...

Sea level doesn’t rise at the same rate everywhere – we mapped where Antarctica’s ice melt would have the biggest impact

(THE CONVERSATION) When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from ...
