Antarctica Ice Loss

Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Antarctica, the world's coldest continent, is experiencing an exceptionally long heatwave during its winter, according to Britain's national polar research institute.

The melting of sea ice around Antarctica is leading to the loss of habitat for baby emperor penguins.

Antarctica will "almost certainly" witness more common and more severe extreme events, such as ocean heatwaves and ice loss, having global implications, researchers say.

The US government warned that the emperor penguin of Antarctica is in danger of going extinct because of rising global temperatures and a loss of sea ice.

Antarctica's annual ice losses have accelerated six-fold in the past 40 years in a trend that could push sea levels metres higher in coming centuries amid man-made global warming, scientists said on Monday.

Antarctica's ice sheet is melting at rapidly increasing rate, now pouring more than 200 billion tons of ice into the ocean annually and raising sea levels a half millimeter every year, a team of 80 scientists reported Wednesday.

Antarctica has lost a staggering three trillion tonnes of ice since 1992, according to a landmark study published today that suggests the frozen continent could redraw Earth's coastlines if global warming continues unchecked.

A part of the Antarctica coastline has been losing ice to the ocean for over four decades, far longer than had been expected, finds a new study of satellite images.

Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...

The runaway loss of ice from Antarctica as a result of global climate change could last for centuries, said a study on Friday.

Annual snowfall has mounted 30 per cent in West Antarctica over the past century, but the extra powder has not spelled good news for the melting ice sheet, researchers said on Wednesday.

An increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

The frozen continent at the bottom of the world has been the subject of increasing concern as rising temperatures cause more ice to melt every year.

A sudden and massive ice loss in a previously stable region of Antarctica is causing small changes in the gravity field of the Earth, a new study has found.
