This study gives important information that helps predict how Antarctica’s ice sheets might change in the future.

As the winter season approaches, the likelihood of waking up to ice on your driveway or on the roads is on the rise. Ice melts are the most common solution to this problem, but it is good to know how ...

An international research team is surveying a water conduit beneath the surface of the ice shelf in Antarctica. The conduit forms as the ice melts. The melting is accelerated by the upwelling water ...

WASHINGTON — Antarctica's massive ice shelves are shrinking because they are being eaten away from below by warm water, a new study finds. The western chunk of Antarctica is losing 23 feet of its ...
