Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.

Warmer ocean temperatures are causing melting in Antarctica's ice shelves, posing an overlooked threat to global coastlines ...

Rapidly melting ice shelves in Antarctica could trigger global sea levels to rise even faster than expected, scientists have ...

Several recent studies also suggest that Antarctic sea ice and ice shelves are becoming more unstable because of trapped ...

A study published Monday finds parts of Antarctica's ice shelves are expected to melt in the coming years, no matter how much progress is made to slash greenhouse emissions and mitigate global warming ...

The change has been so extreme that vast areas of ice equivalent to the size of Greenland have melted, experts say ...

For decades, it seemed Antarctica might be insulated from rapid ice melting, but then sea ice began to decline dramatically.

Antarctic sea ice is shrinking faster than expected. New research shows how winds, ocean heat, and feedback loops caused this ...

Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from Australian scientists shows that melting Antarctic ice shelves and changing sea ...

Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that ...

Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, suggests a new study in Nature Communications. The reason is that ...
