A top climate scientist says we may have crossed a dangerous tipping point in Antarctica—and the long-term fallout could be ...

Researchers found ancient river-carved plains beneath East Antarctica that may help slow ice loss and improve sea-level rise ...

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive chemical analysis, the researchers discovered just how extreme and outlier the ...

Antarctic sea ice began to change rapidly in 2015 and 2016. Since then it has remained well below the long-term average.

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

And the eruptions can make warming worse, melting more glaciers.

East Antarctica is the largest ice sheet on Earth. Alone, it holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by a ...

In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased ...

Antarctic sea ice extent has fallen dramatically in recent years – the effects include accelerated ocean warming, faster loss ...

When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet.

A new study reveals a concerning link between climate change and increased volcanic activity, particularly in glaciated ...

Even the current level of global warming may already have locked in unstoppable ice melt, with a major new study warning of ...
