Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include ...

“Atmospheric rivers” are bringing rain to the frozen slopes of the West Antarctic ice sheet, hitting the ice shelves that ...

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...

Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include rainfall, according to ...

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

In one of the modeling scenarios, the team removed a 3,280-foot-thick ice sheet over the course of 300 years, which is considered moderate melting for West Antarctica, and found a significant ...

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...

"We are already observing rapid ice loss in West Antarctica, which is the fastest-growing contribution to sea level rise." Editor's Note: This story was updated on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 1 p.m. EST ...

For instance, in the warm, calm eastern part of the Dotson ice shelf in west Antarctica, an autonomous robot observed basal terraces. In the west of Dotson—which experiences cold, fast currents ...

In recent years, it has become painfully evident that Earth is losing ice. Greenland's ice is shrinking, at a rate of 270 billion tons per year. And Antarctica is losing its ice, too, at a rate of ...

Scientists have discovered microplastics in the snow near some of Antarctica's deep field camps, revealing how far-reaching ...
