Ocean heat, not air temperature, may decide Antarctica’s fate as new models predict widespread ice shelf loss by 2300.

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier collapsed at record speed, revealing how quickly ice loss could drive sea level rise. A glacier ...

Around 9,000 years ago, East Antarctica went through a dramatic meltdown that was anything but isolated. Scientists have discovered that warm deep ocean water surged beneath the region’s floating ice ...

A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The same oceanic mechanisms could now accelerate Antarctic melting and global ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike ...

An ice shelf the size of New York City has collapsed in East Antarctica, an area long thought to be stable and not hit much by climate change, concerned scientists said Friday. The collapse, captured ...

Cities and towns around the world could be plunged underwater in just 275 years, a new study has warned. Scientists from Sorbonne University in Paris predict that up to 59 per cent of Antarctica's ice ...
