Researchers say accurately predicting Antarctica's impact on global sea levels is an urgent priority that can be achieved by ...

At roughly 425 parts per million, today’s atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration sits nearly 80 percent above the level that, according to new modeling, triggers runaway ice loss in Antarctica. A ...

A new study suggests Antarctica’s ice sheet hit a climate tipping point about one million years ago, making it far more ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience by researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea shows that the Antarctic ice sheet became ...

Melting of the Antarctic ice sheet due to global warming has long-term, irreversible societal impacts with important implications for people around the world. Spatial patterns of sea level change from ...

Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics are governed by the balance between snow accumulation, basal melting, ice flow and calving, shaped by atmospheric temperature, oceanic heat flux and bedrock topography.

Integration of proxy records with ocean–climate modeling reveals that early Holocene ice-shelf retreat in East Antarctica was driven by oceanic forcing enhanced by meltwater discharge from neighboring ...

Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...
