A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...

Old Antarctic photos help University of Copenhagen scientists trace ice shelf collapse and predict future sea level rise.

Long-lost 1960s aerial photos let Copenhagen researchers watch Antarctica’s Wordie Ice Shelf crumble in slow motion. By ...

Now, satellite data can help scientists measure the depth and shape of ice shelf fractures to better predict when and where calving events will occur, according to researchers.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ...

Previously, thinning of the ice shelf was documented by satellite altimeters measuring the changing height of the ice from above. During the March field test, ...

For decades, satellites have played a crucial role in our understanding of the remote polar regions. The ongoing loss of Antarctic ice, due to the climate crisis, is, sadly, no longer surprising.

A long-lost photo snapped from a Navy plane in 1966 has become the unlikely key to understanding how Antarcticas ...

A glacier in Antarctica is committing "ice piracy"—stealing ice from a neighbor—in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short timeframe, say scientists.

The Amery Ice Shelf on the other side of Antarctica gained 1.3 trillion tons (1.2 trillion metric tons) of ice as a result of the cold water, even though the region lost a huge slab of ice when it ...

Here, the new satellite reveals stunning variety within the tropical forest landscape. Green hues indicate forested areas; ...

BERLIN - New satellite images from the European Space Agency show massive amounts of ice are breaking away from an ice shelf on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, researchers said Wednesday.
