Feb. 14, 2022 New research definitively resolves a long-standing discrepancy in the geologic record that pitted studies of marine ice-sheet behavior against those that reconstructed past conditions on land. The ...
Aug. 24, 2021 Researchers suggest that the Antarctic Ice Sheet partly reached its maximum thickness before the Last Glacier ...
Dec. 22, 2021 Scientists predict that continued global warming under current trends could lead to an elevation of the sea level by as much as five meters by the year 3000 ...
Apr. 30, 2021 The new predictions show that in the case of a total collapse of the ice sheet, global sea level rise estimates would be amplified by an additional meter within 1,000 ...
Nov. 18, 2021 After the natural warming that followed the last Ice Age, there were repeated periods when masses of icebergs broke off from Antarctica into the Southern Ocean. A new data-model study now shows that ...
Dec. 6, 2022 A chance find of an unstudied Antarctic sediment core has led researchers to flip our understanding of how often ice ages occurred in ...
Feb. 8, 2024 Researchers have uncovered the first direct evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet shrunk suddenly and dramatically at the end of the Last Ice Age, around eight thousand years ago. The evidence, ...
Apr. 21, 2022 When a large ice sheet begins to melt, global-mean sea level rises, but local sea level near the ice sheet may in fact drop. A researcher illustrates this effect through a series of calculations, ...
May 13, 2021 The Antarctic ice sheet was even more unstable in the past than previously thought, and at times possibly came close to collapse, new research suggests. The findings raise concerns that, in a warmer ...
Sep. 7, 2023 Antarctica's vast ice masses seem far away, yet they store enough water to raise global sea levels by several meters. A team of experts has now provided the first systematic stability inspection ...
