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

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and 2020, when one-fifth of its associated ice shelf broke off as massive ...

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.

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

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

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.

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

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 ...

Ice core analysis from the Ronne Ice Shelf in West Antarctica indicates it did not melt during the last interglacial period, suggesting resilience to current climate change.

With frigid temperatures in the area, you may begin to see ice on lakeshores called shelf ice.And while the shelf ice can m ...

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