Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

Rising Sea Levels When you think about the ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, you're really looking at the biggest ...

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

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 millimetres.

Melting ice in Antarctica could trigger volcanic eruptions beneath the continent’s vast ice sheet, creating a slow but dangerous feedback loop, scientists warn. A new study suggests the melting ...

Some of those volcanoes peak above the surface, but others sit several kilometers beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Climate change is causing the ice sheet to melt, raising global sea levels.

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

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 ...
