A team at the University of Colorado Boulder identified a process that caused a glacier in Antarctica to retreat faster than any other grounded glacier ever recorded, researchers said, losing about ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most comprehensive account to date of how the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf in West ...

Weathered rocks sitting above the ice hold iron concentrations up to ten times higher than earlier reports from elsewhere in ...

(CNN) — An Antarctic glacier shrunk by nearly 50% in just two months, the fastest retreat recorded in modern history, according to a new study — and the way it retreated could have big implications ...

Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier,' Thwaites, is collapsing faster than anticipated, threatening catastrophic sea level rise.

The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that ...

A University of Houston scientist has teamed with international partners to examine how Antarctica's massive glaciers are ...

Antarctica's so-called "doomsday glacier" -- nicknamed because of its high risk of collapse and threat to global sea level -- has the potential to rapidly retreat in the coming years, scientists say, ...

A critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks it from collapsing into the sea is breaking up much faster than before and spawning huge ...
