An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

Surface melting for the Antarctic ice sheet appears to have set a record for the 46-year satellite observation period on January 2, 2025. All areas of the Antarctic coast that generally see ...

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions ... The study highlights how the weight of the ice sheet acts as a cap on the magma below. When the ice melts, the overburden pressure ...

More than 100 volcanoes lurk beneath the surface in Antarctica. Ice sheet melt could set them off. The reason is that this unloading of ice sheets reduces pressure on magma chambers below the ...

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimeters.

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice ... The study highlights how the weight of the ice sheet acts as a cap on the magma below. When the ice ...
