Antarctica’s Ice on Edge: 2024’s Near Record Low Predictions
In 2023, amid rising global concerns about the warmest year on record and record-high ocean temperatures, attention turned to the Antarctic sea ice. Following a…

Under the 79° N-Glacier, melt rates have been measured at 130 meters per year. Measurements from land-based instruments and airplane-mounted radars in Greenland’s far northeast…
It is not a secret that glaciers are melting, and that it causes a problem with sea levels rising, but a new way of reading,…
According to a recent study from the University of Colorado Boulder, the Arctic may experience summer days almost entirely free of sea ice within the…
Even if global warming were to stop entirely, the ice volume in the European Alps is projected to decrease by 34% by 2050. Should the…
As the Arctic warms, the growth of rivers could release carbon emissions equivalent to those of millions of vehicles. Recent findings from Dartmouth reveal groundbreaking…
Simulations indicate that injecting aerosols into the stratosphere could mitigate the melting of ice sheets caused by global warming. One of the many effects of…
Genetic studies of an Antarctic octopus reveal that the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) occurred in the Last Interglacial period, approximately 129,000…
New research from Northumbria University suggests that there is a limited time frame before irreversible, large-scale ice loss begins in Antarctica. According to two recent…
A new effort aims to more accurately measure the loss of ice shelves in Antarctica. Global ice dams are weakening due to rising temperatures, leading…
Scientists have found that even seemingly stable glaciers in the Antarctic can “switch very rapidly” and lose large quantities of ice as a result of…
Glaciers in the Western United States are disappearing. A recent study by researchers at Portland State University has revealed significant changes in glaciers. The findings…
In the summer of 2022, one of Tyrol’s most expansive glaciers experienced its most significant loss of mass on record. Last year, the Hintereisferner in…
Using geoengineering techniques, the climate could theoretically be artificially influenced and cooled. Scientists from Bern have now explored the feasibility of halting the melting of…
Scientists analyzing geological samples from Scotland’s Ythan Estuary have pinpointed a melting ice sheet as the likely trigger of a major climate-change event just over…
Research from Oregon State University has discovered a potential reason for the rapid retreat of sea-terminating glaciers: the bursting of tiny, pressurized bubbles in underwater…
Recent studies indicate that the implementation of the 1987 global agreement aimed at safeguarding the ozone layer has successfully delayed the emergence of the initial…
The potential consequences of climate change-induced melting of Antarctica’s major ice sheets would be catastrophic. However, at least one ice sheet in East Antarctica experienced…
