Researchers reveal that North Greenland’s ice shelves have lost over one-third of their volume since 1978, mainly due to rising ocean temperatures. This loss threatens…
A study from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography indicates that meltwater flowing beneath Antarctic glaciers accelerates their ice loss. This effect, termed subglacial…

It is estimated that melting ice in the Antarctic could sea levels to rise by up to 50 meters. A new study charts 45,000,000 years…
Because of the large fluctuations in ocean levels caused by changing tides, currents, and winds, sea level fingerprints have been notoriously difficult to detect. The…
According to new research, refreezing the poles by reducing incoming sunlight would be both feasible and remarkably cheap. Earth’s poles are warming several times faster…
Researchers have identified an additional process that could have a significant effect on an ice sheet’s future: thawing of the bed, where the ice sheet…
The Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers have been retreating at an accelerated pace and have already increased global sea levels. A study finds that two…
