The ice sheet holds 90% of the freshwater on the planet. Scientists stunned after detecting unexpected shift in Antarctic Ice ...

Researchers drill deep into the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets to retrieve ice cores and study past climate. However, determining the age of the oldest ice at the bottom of these cores has ...

Deep ice cores drilled from the Antarctic continent and the Greenland ice sheet—often extending a couple of kilometers in depth—serve as invaluable archives of Earth's past climate and ice ...

Real Ice hopes to stop that by artificially freezing more sea ice. It’s one of several geoengineering projects trying to save the world’s glaciers, ice sheets and sea ice. Some scientists ...

You can get in touch with John by emailing [email protected] NASA scientists have rediscovered an abandoned U.S. nuclear base buried beneath Greenland's ice sheet since the Cold War. During a ...

The grounding line is the point at which glaciers on land transition to ice shelves and start to float. If the grounding line retreats, this can cause instability and even faster flow of the ice sheet ...

Using 80°C water pumped at high pressure, they melted a 30-centimeter-wide borehole through the ice sheet to ... loss from the Antarctic interior. “Our findings are therefore a prerequisite for ...

Until fairly recently, the oldest ice recovered from the thickest part of Antarctic ice sheets was around 800,000 ... then it did not melt during a period of warming." While more research and ...

if the Antarctic Ice Sheet eventually completely melted away, the sea level would be estimated to rise around 200 feet. While this would take many centuries to happen at the current rate of ice melt, ...

That's what a line through the Antarctic ice sheet data looks like when plotted on a graph. While there have been some recent ice gains, they don't even begin to make up for almost 20 years of losses.
