Underwater “storms” are melting the ice shelf protecting the Thwaites “doomsday” glacier in Antarctica, raising concerns that we could be underestimating future sea level rise. Up to 10 kilometres ...
A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive floating ice shelves in East Antarctica. For two and a half years, an Argo ...
An international research team is surveying a water conduit beneath the surface of the ice shelf in Antarctica. The conduit forms as the ice melts. The melting is accelerated by the upwelling water ...
If it were to melt completely, the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) holds enough ice to raise the global sea levels by 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet). The WAIS abuts the Ross Ice Shelf, the world's ...
For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...
