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

Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice.

In recent decades, though, warming oceans have weakened the shelves from underneath, a phenomenon previously documented by satellite altimeters measuring the changing height of the ice and showing ...

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

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

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.

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

Carrying a specialized radar altimeter, CryoSat measures changes in the height, or elevation, of ice—both ice floating in the ocean—sea ice, icebergs and ice shelves, and ice on land ...

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

The Conger Ice Shelf disintegrated in 2022. Satellite data leading up to the collapse hint at worrying changes in a supposedly stable ice sheet.

“These measure how the ice shelf is deforming and moving, and are compared to satellite images from ESA, NASA, and the German satellite TerraSAR-X.

In recent decades, though, warming oceans have weakened the shelves from underneath, a phenomenon previously documented by satellite altimeters measuring the changing height of the ice and showing ...
