The study focuses on two masses of ice currently sitting on land: The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. As temperatures rise, that ice is melting, flowing into the ocean and making sea levels rise.

Melting ice sheets are slowing the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers said Monday. An influx of fresh water from the melting sheets is changing the properties of the ocean and its ...

Ancient river landscapes buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet have been uncovered by radar, revealing vast, flat ...

A previously-undetected flood over Greenland's ice sheet has confounded model predictions about how the region's meltwater ...

It is not normally possible to forecast when icebergs break free, or calve. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at ...

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are on course for rapid retreat, even collapse, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise even if the world pulls off the miraculous and keeps global ...

Most of that melting appears to be happening to the Greenland ice sheet, which holds nearly 700,000 cu. miles of ice, although the even more massive Antarctic ice sheet is melting as well—though ...

Melting at the interface between ice sheets and the ocean in the Arctic is much more extensive than previously estimated, according to a study published Monday in Proceedings of the National ...

The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has seen a reverse shift in land mass after decades of melting. Getty Images The researchers analyzed data from the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment ...

Melting Antarctic ice contributes to global sea-level rise, so a reversal of melting will slow that down. Understanding the dynamics of ice mass on Antarctica is thus essential. The recent ...
