A study published in Geophysical Research Letters in March showed that the Ross Ice Shelf slips daily, reported Washington University in St. Louis, in a story posted by SciTechDaily. According to ...
If it were to melt completely, the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) holds enough ice to raise the global sea levels by 4 ...
Our geographers are part of international team looking at the possible fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in our warming ...
New research reveals for the first time how a major Antarctic ice shelf has been subjected to increased melting by warming ocean waters over the last four decades. Scientists from the University of ...
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, ...
An international team of scientists—including faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York—is undergoing an ambitious mission to obtain critical geological records from the West ...
At the end of the southern summer, Antarctica’s sea ice hit its annual minimum. By at least one measure, which tracks the area of ocean that contains at least 15% of sea ice, it was a little above the ...
Recently-released audio reveals what it sounds like when an ice shelf in Antarctica “sings,” according to a new study. And the eerie sound is chilling — pun intended. Those findings were published in ...
An international research team is surveying a water conduit beneath the surface of the ice shelf in Antarctica. The conduit forms as the ice melts. The melting is accelerated by the upwelling water ...
The National Ice Center (NIC) using latest satellite image shown from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s (DMSP) Operational Line Scan (OLS) Infrared sensor (Figure 1) can D = 90E-0 ...
An international team has set up a remote camp on the ice 700 km from the nearest base (New Zealand’s Scott Base) to attempt to drill for mud and rocks holding critical insights about the fate of the ...
