Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

By determining which ice sheets melted to create a colossal increase in sea levels 14,500 years ago, scientists hope to enable better predictions of ...

Mass loss of ice from the world’s 19 glacier regions was 450bn tonnes in 2024, says a new report from the UN’s World ...

This record indicates decreasing deep-water temperature, along with the build-up of continental ice sheets. Much of this deep-water cooling occurred in three major steps about 36, 15 and 3 million ...

Past ice sheets have retreated rapidly, raising global sea level at rates >1 cm per year, with marine ice sheets collapsing and terrestrial ice sheets retreating in a more gradual fashion.

As the planet heats up and Antarctica’s ice sheet melts at a faster pace, scientists warn of a steady rise in sea levels.

The park is covered by a portion of the Patagonic continental ice sheet and contains thirteen glaciers that flow into the sea. The enormous Perito Moreno glacier rests here, rising nearly 200 feet ...

The increased mass loss of the Antarctic ice sheet has been attributed to the significant weakening of these floating shelves. This weakening originates from the advection of warm, salty circumpolar ...
