land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice. Loss of Antarctic ice endangers the survival of emperor penguin chicks, study says Emperor penguins hatch their eggs and raise ...

Satellite measurements show ice thinning rates up to 3 meters per year in certain West Antarctic areas, a rate scientists consider alarmingly fast. If current melting continues—or accelerates ...

But if the current begins to weaken, it would allow warmer water to seep in closer to the ice shelves, speeding up the melting of Antarctic ice. “Faster ice melting could then lead to further ...

Zhu Di, a researcher at the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained that the melting of the Antarctic ice cap often initiates from the bottom. However ...

Loss of the Antarctic ice sheet has traditionally been cited as one of the main causes of global mean sea-level rise. Melting due to the inflow of warm seawater from the open ocean has been ...
