Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the bordering Ronne Ice Shelf suggests that, contrary to some model reconstructions, the ice shelf survived this period at almost its current extent.

When Michigan's many lakes and rivers form ice, it can be hard to stay away. Some ice isn't worth stepping onto, experts say.

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

The gushing spout of warm water could rapidly melt the Antarctic ice shelf and lead to rising sea levels sooner than we think.

The biggest danger with shelf ice is how unstable it is. Shelf ice can collapse from a person walking on it, and this is ...

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

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic did not melt during the last interglacial event, suggesting it could ...

The jagged fragment has an area of roughly 31 sq miles (80 sq km) - just a fraction of the approximately 1,297 sq miles ...
