Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.

A study found that channels beneath ice sheets could trap warm water and accelerate the ice’s deterioration.

Between 2002 and 2020, Antarctica lost roughly 149 billion metric tonnes of ice each year, according to NASA. View on ...

Ice in the Arctic and Antarctica plays a critical role in maintaining life on Earth, and it is melting faster than previously thought. This is threatening our planet with potentially massive sea-level ...

For decades, it seemed Antarctica might be insulated from rapid ice melting, but then sea ice began to decline dramatically.

Scientists are worried about the melting of Antarctica's ice sheets and what it could mean for sea levels. There's a two-month-long journey underway to conduct research that will better explain what's ...

A study published Monday finds parts of Antarctica's ice shelves are expected to melt in the coming years, no matter how much progress is made to slash greenhouse emissions and mitigate global warming ...

A rare dataset collected by instruments at the point where Antarctica's largest ice shelf begins to float reveals ocean processes that drive melting at this critical part of the continent.

Antarctica is melting from below due to rising heat from the ocean, threatening the ice shelves, potentially accelerating sea rise and other catastrophic climate effects around the globe, per an ...

Scientists prepare Gull, a glider and autonomous underwater vehicle, for deployment in Antarctica in January 2026. (UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center) UC Davis scientists are in Antarctica ...
