The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using ...

Scientists spent the first weeks of the year on an expedition to Antarctica to study Thwaites Glacier, which is melting at an alarming rate. If it breaks apart entirely, it could push up global sea ...

A ‘lightning-fast’ melting event astonished the scientific community when researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CIRES) observed the colla.

Antarctica has lost enough ice over the last 30 years to cover the City of Los Angeles area 10 times over, according to new ...

Pink granite boulders sitting mysteriously atop Antarctica’s Hudson Mountains have led scientists to a stunning discovery: a hidden granite mass buried beneath Pine Island Glacier, stretching nearly ...

The Thwaites Glacier, one of Antarctica’s most unstable ice masses, is edging closer to a point of no return, according to ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

Discover how, while most of Antarctica remains stable, vulnerable sectors are losing ice equivalent to the size of Greater Los Angeles every three years.

Glacier ice contains valuable information about the climates of the past. Researchers are scrambling to study it before it's too late.

A UC Irvine-led study used international and commercial satellites to measure glaciers and found more than three-quarters of Antarctica’s coast-reaching glaciers to be stable, with the other quarter ...

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica ...

A new study shows Antarctica’s biggest ice losses are happening at a few weak coastal gateways where glaciers are retreating inland.
