The rapidly melting Antarctic ... beneath Antarctica. Using 4,000 computer simulations, scientists predicted how the decreasing ice impacts magma chambers. As the ice sheets melt, their mass ...

“Snow is only a third of the density of ice,” Kurtz says. “We have to measure both and then do the conversion to see what the actual overall mass ... dozens of images of the Antarctic ...

This massive block of ice, about the size of Rhode Island, poses a significant threat to the delicate ecosystem of the island, home to penguins and seals. Satellite images, including recent data ...

Melting ice sheets are often considered synonymous with climate change in the media, with evocative images of ... suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic ...

Anyone who says science is boring has not seen images like ... the first pack ice, large pieces of ice that have been pushed together into a single mass. Source: 'Suicidal' Antarctic Journey ...

The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is linked to more intense and frequent volcanic eruptions, as found by recent research. Reduced ice mass alleviates pressure on magma chambers beneath the ...

New satellite images show the extreme melting that has taken place on the critical Greenland ice sheet, according to researchers. The sheet is a mass of glacial land ice ... the sheet thinned by a ...

An international team of scientists announced Thursday that they drilled a 2.8-kilometer (2-mile) ice core, reaching the bedrock beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. Ancient ice samples are expected ...

By drilling into the ice ... a new Antarctic ecosystem. Project leader Huw Horgan from Wellington's Victoria University spotted the estuary while looking at satellite images of the Ross Ice ...
