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

Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and ...

The size variations in the Antarctic ice sheet over time have confirmed its unstable nature, made worse by greenhouse ...

Antarctic sea ice has been shrinking in recent years, hitting near-record lows in 2024. The 2024 winter maximum for Antarctic sea ice was the second lowest on record.

The rapidly shrinking sea ice pack in Antarctic waters will likely recover if prompt action is taken to contain greenhouse ...

“The area of Antarctic ice reached an all-time low ... the report explained that it was the second time scientists had observed ice shrinking below 2 million square kilometers.

To do so, they used a thermomechanical magma chamber model and simulated a shrinking West Antarctic Ice Sheet through inputting specific pressure decreases exerted on the underlying rocks and ...

A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be vulnerable to complete ...

They’re also shrinking. The ocean melts ice shelves ... and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres. They happen in a thin layer of ocean, just beneath ...
