Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.

Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would cause devastating sea-level rise globally over the next few hundred years, report scientists in Norway.

It's not looking good for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This body of ice is Antarctica's largest contributor to global sea-level rise, and it's only going to get worse from here. After running ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet will continue to increase its rate of melting over the rest of this century, no matter how much we cut fossil fuel use.

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive chemical analysis, the researchers discovered just how extreme and outlier the ...

And the eruptions can make warming worse, melting more glaciers.

Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be triggered by very little ocean warming above present-day, leading to a devastating four meters of global sea level rise to play out over hundreds ...

Putting aerosols in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight could prevent the shutdown of key ocean currents, but only if it is ...

Their finding offers further evidence that large parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could collapse in coming decades as human-caused climate change and other forces weaken glaciers.

Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would cause devastating sea-level rise globally over the next few hundred years, report scientists in Norway.
