New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-up to three large-scale iceberg "calving" events in Antarctica, ...

Smaller spaces naturally present challenges. You still need the same amount of stuff as you'd have in a larger one, but you just have less room to fit it all in. That's where multi-functional ...

Two papers published in Nature Geoscience in June indicate that Antarctic ice shelves are melting more rapidly than previously anticipated. The papers detail two distinct mechanisms for melting that ...

Antarctica's vast floating ice shelves surround about 75 per cent of the continent's coastline and act like a vast buttress, holding back the flow of inland glaciers. However, Norwegian researchers ...

As Antarctica’s slow rivers of ice hit the sea, they float, forming ice shelves. These shelves extend the glaciers into the ocean until they calve into icebergs. But they also play a crucial role in ...
