Scientists have been studying the melting of Arctic glaciers for years. In addition to the progressive warming of the climate ...

Rising Sea Levels When you think about the ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, you're really looking at the biggest ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from NTU Singapore, and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands, ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...

For example, some projections include well-understood phenomena like glacier melting. But others incorporate more uncertain events, such as abrupt ice shelf collapse. As a result, these models ...

Climate change is increasing the rate and severity of coastal erosion, leading some experts to call for a “managed retreat” ...

Whitlock's team was able to find about 30 trees at about 3,000 metres above sea level, which is 180 metres ... this discovery is because of the melting ice patch. "I'm thrilled because it's ...

When ice shelves weaken or collapse, they lose this critical buttressing effect, allowing glaciers to flow more freely. This process contributes directly to sea level rise, threatening coastal ...

Some include well-understood phenomena like glacier melting, while others incorporate more uncertain events, such as abrupt ice shelf collapse ... making it difficult to estimate reliable extreme ...

This thermal expansion has contributed about one-third of the sea level rise observed globally. Ice loss from glaciers and polar ice sheets, together with changes in the amount of water stored on the ...
