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

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.

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

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

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Antarctica's ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously known because of climate change, according to a new US Geological Survey report prepared in close collaboration with the British ...

If you were to walk out onto the ice, it’s hard to know where the shoreline lies. The biggest danger with shelf ice is how unstable it is. Shelf ice can collapse from a person walking on it ...
