When volcanic eruptions make headlines, the images often depict fiery lava and towering ash clouds. But beneath Antarctica’s ...

Melting on the Antarctic Ice Sheet for the 2024 to 2025 season began with above average melt extents in all regions, but melt ...

By determining which ice sheets melted to create a colossal increase in sea levels 14,500 years ago, scientists hope to ...

As rising temperatures melt Antarctica’s ice sheet and cause more precipitation, the Southern Ocean’s upper layer is growing less salty – and thus, less dense. This creates a lid that limits the ...

Now, new geological data show that sea levels rose about 125 feet (38 meters) between 11,000 and 3,000 years ago, according ...

New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, about 11,700 years ago. This information is of great importance to ...

By determining which ice sheets melted to create a colossal increase in sea levels 14,500 years ago, scientists hope to enable better predictions of ...

Greenland’s ice sheet is the second-largest ice cap on Earth, and because of the planet’s rising temperatures, it’s melting. Human-induced climate change is intensifying atmospheric rivers ...

The melting of the Greenland ice sheet is now the largest contributor to sea level rise, and scientists at UNH are traveling ...
