Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

The gushing spout of warm water could rapidly melt the Antarctic ice shelf and lead to rising sea levels sooner than we think ...

An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the bordering Ronne Ice Shelf suggests that, contrary to some model reconstructions, the ice shelf survived this period at almost its current extent.

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

When Michigan's many lakes and rivers form ice, it can be hard to stay away. Some ice isn't worth stepping onto, experts say.

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

The biggest danger with shelf ice is how unstable it is. Shelf ice can collapse from a person walking on it, and this is ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

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

Ice core analysis from the Ronne Ice Shelf in West Antarctica indicates it did not melt during the last interglacial period, suggesting resilience to current climate change.

In a groundbreaking mission, a team from the Polar Engineering Research Group (PERG) at the University of Cape Town (UCT) has set off on their first field expedition on the Antarctic continent. Led by ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...
