Ancient river landscapes buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet have been uncovered by radar, revealing vast, flat ...

The funding allows earth sciences researcher Sophie Nowicki to continue leading an international ice sheet modeling project.

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

Greenland’s Ice Sheet Collapse Could Be Closer Than We Think The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

Scientists have observed an encouraging trend in growth in the Antarctic Ice Sheet but remain cautious about the climate's future. A study published in Science China Earth Sciences found that the ...

The world's two gigantic ice sheets are in greater peril from global warming than previously thought, a study published May 20 says.

The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise and “catastrophic” migration away from coastlines, even if the world pulls off the ...

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are on course for rapid retreat, even collapse, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise even if the world pulls off the miraculous and keeps global ...

Triggered by an abrupt period of warming during the late Pleistocene, which ended about 11,700 years ago, the collapse of the Cordilleran ice sheet holds important lessons for both the style and pace ...

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 8% of the planet’s freshwater, and its meltwater could contribute significantly to rising sea levels, changing ocean circulation and ecosystems worldwide. The ...
