According to scientists, the Amundsen Sea Embayment, which is the fastest-changing region in Antarctica, has experienced a loss of more than 3,000 billion tons of…
The preservation of water ice at shallow depths and low latitudes on Mars would have significant implications for both scientific research and human exploration. Scientists…
According to researchers, glaciers – massive blocks of moving ice – located along the coast of Antarctica are flowing faster during the summer due to…
Data come from an expedition using the underwater robot Icefin under remote Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. The rapid retreat of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica…
Results provide close-up view of melting beneath Antarctic Glacier using underwater robot Icefin. The rapid retreat of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica appears to be…
New data from an international expedition and underwater robot Icefin beneath the remote Thwaites Glacier, nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier, in Antarctica. It is one of…
Fifteen million people around the world are at risk from flooding caused by glacial lakes, with just four countries accounting for more than half of…
A process that can contribute to the melting of ice shelves in the Antarctic has been discovered by researchers. An international team of researchers has…
Assistant Professor David Rounce of Civil and Environmental Engineering led an international effort to produce new projections of glacier mass loss through the century under…
An unexpected river under the Antarctic ice sheet affects the flow and melting of ice, potentially accelerating ice loss as the climate warms. New research…
A new study combined GPS, satellite data, and numerical modeling. It found ice loss from northeast Greenland could be six times greater by the end…
The massive proglacial lake drainage in remote Patagonia was captured by satellites. Only satellites were around when the fourth-largest proglacial lake in the world suddenly drained in…
Scientists seeking to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet’s oceans often use computational modeling. Their recent efforts have focused on ice-sheet…
Faster in the Past: New seafloor images – the highest resolution of any taken off the West Antarctic Ice Sheet – upend understanding of Thwaites…
A study finds that two major glaciers in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are losing ice at the fastest rate for at least 5,500…
Ice shelves are floating extensions of glaciers. A new study, published in Nature Communications, found that if Greenland’s second-largest ice shelf breaks up, it may…
Oldest continuous arctic record is a step toward understanding dramatic shift in glacial cycles. New research is the first to provide a continuous look at…
The study proves the value of electromagnetic techniques in a new polar environment. Researchers have made the first detection of groundwater beneath an Antarctic ice…
