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 ...

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

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

As the last Ice Age waned and the Holocene dawned, deep-ocean circulation around Antarctica underwent dramatic shifts that helped release long-stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Deep-sea ...

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

If it were to melt completely, the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) holds enough ice to raise the global sea levels by 4 ...

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 ...

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are highly vulnerable to global warming and scientists are being increasingly worried ...

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

CAPE LEGOUPIL, Antarctica — From the ground in this extreme northern part of Antarctica, spectacularly white and blinding ice seems to extend forever. What can't be seen is the battle raging thousands ...

And so, the Argo float’s trip under the ice turned out to be an incredibly lucky accident. During an eight-month period, the ...
