A new polar ice study from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder surfaced groundbreaking evidence of, well … the ground ...

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be ...

North Greenland's ice shelves have lost more than a third of their volume since 1978 and could collapse with "dramatic consequences," scientists have warned. Out of the region's eight enormous ice ...

Scientists tracking Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier found its ice shelf weakening followed an ordered pattern, driven by hidden ...

It is relatively common for ice shelves in Antarctica to spawn icebergs. It is less common for an ice shelf to completely disintegrate. In March 2022, an ice shelf in East Antarctica did both. The ...

The massive shelf of ice in the Antarctic, the Thwaites Glacier, was heading to its doom, which would have a significant ...

Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting of Antarctic ice shelves, threatening a significant rise in sea levels. Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting ...

Heavy pooling meltwater can fracture ice, potentially leading to ice shelf collapse. When air temperatures in Antarctica rise and glacier ice melts, water can pool on the surface of floating ice ...

The Antarctic Peninsula is undergoing greater warming than almost anywhere on Earth, a condition perhaps associated with human-induced greenhouse effects. According to the cover article published in ...

More than a third of the Antarctic ice shelf risks collapsing into the sea if global temperatures reach 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels as climate change warms ...

No matter how much the world cuts back on carbon emissions, a key and sizable chunk of Antarctica is essentially doomed to an “unavoidable” melt, a new study found. Though the full melt will take ...
