West Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is on the brink of losing its ice shelf, further compromising the already melting ice ...

Scientists monitoring Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier, often called the “Doomsday Glacier,” warn its floating ice shelf could ...

"If we [humans] continue to do business as usual, it's a distinct possibility that we reach the climate tipping point sooner than later." ...

Beneath hundreds of meters of Antarctic ice, in a place no human has ever visited, warm ocean water is quietly eating away at ...

Antarctica has long been seen as Earth’s frozen shield, vast, remote, and seemingly unbreakable. Yet scientists are now warning that some of its most fragile regions may have crossed a dangerous ...

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 of ...

Scientists have identified a hidden climate tipping point that changed how Antarctica's ice sheet responds to warming.

Scientists have finally identified the ‘triple whammy’ behind Antarctica’s dramatic collapse, shedding new light on the chain reaction that has pushed its sea ice to record lows. A new study found ...

Sea ice around Antarctica expanded for several decades until a dramatic decline in 2015. The reasons behind this are revealed by research from the University of Gothenburg. Antarctic sea ice plays a ...

Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that ...
