The Antarctic ice sheet gained mass from 2021 to 2023 at an average rate of about 119 billion tons per year, according to research from Tongji University analyzing NASA satellite data. This abrupt ...

Scientists may be able to reliably forecast Antarctic ice loss through the middle of this century, offering governments a ...

A connected province of giant subglacial basins stretching across East Antarctica has been identified for the first time, ...

Though ice sheet melting is widely talked of and debated, there is limited knowledge about what happens after the period of melting. Researchers dig into this "after" period and see how it relates to ...

Governments have a crucial 30 to 50 year window to plan for rising sea levels using dependable computer models, before ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...

The rate at which Antarctica is losing ice today could provide governments with a reliable basis for planning for sea level rise through the middle of this century, according to an international study ...

A study has revealed that the substantial retreat of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) approximately 9,000 years ago was driven by a self-reinforcing feedback loop between ice melt and ocean ...

Ancient river landscapes buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet have been uncovered by radar, revealing vast, flat surfaces formed over 80 million years ago before Antarctica froze. These hidden ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists make jaw-dropping discovery after satellite images reveal what's hiding over a mile beneath Antarctic ice: 'It's like ...

Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics are governed by the balance between snow accumulation, basal melting, ice flow and calving, shaped by atmospheric temperature, oceanic heat flux and bedrock topography.
