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

Around 9,000 years ago, East Antarctica went through a dramatic meltdown that was anything but isolated. Scientists have discovered that warm deep ocean water surged beneath the region’s floating ice ...

Researchers warn Antarctica is undergoing abrupt changes that could trigger global consequences. Melting ice, collapsing ice ...

The study, published on 14 November in Science Advances, demonstrates how freshwater from the south can slow down the weakening of this crucial ocean current.

Integration of proxy records with ocean-climate modeling reveals that early Holocene ice-shelf retreat in East Antarctica was ...

Warm deep water driven by ancient meltwater feedbacks caused rapid ice-shelf collapse in East Antarctica 9,000 years ago. The ...

The impact of water expulsion into the open ocean from formerly ice-covered areas means that sea levels will change ...
