Despite the scale of the event, known as Meltwater Pulse 1a, scientists still aren't sure which ice sheets were responsible for shedding all that water. Now, researchers from Brown University have ...

"These simulations of how ice sheets move over 100-year time scales are essential ingredients of sea-level predictions," he ...

One of the biggest challenges in predicting Antarctica's deeply uncertain future is understanding exactly what's driving its ...

Researchers took advantage of a rare chance to explore a new expanse of seafloor exposed by the breakup of an Antarctic ice ...

Have you ever wondered what Antarctica might look like without ice? Now, a new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed ...

New evidence has led to an update of when an ancient ice sheet that used to cover large portions of North America melted – a discovery has implications for modern ice sheets and glaciers in the face ...

Their work reveals some of the fundamental physics governing the large-scale movements of the Antarctic ice sheet and could help improve predictions about how the continent will change in the future.

The team observed that subsurface rivers have moved around a lot, which has affected where and how the ice might shatter or ...

a massive floating glacier attached to the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet, according to the Schmidt Ocean Institute. The remnants of a massive iceberg calving event are seen from Research Vessel ...
