Much of this uncertainty is because the ocean processes that control the fate of the sheet occur on an incredibly small scale ...

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As ...

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may ...

"The change of seasons causes surface melting far inland from the coastal ice front," glaciologist Christopher Shuman said.

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions.

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and ... For instance, in the warm, calm eastern part of the Dotson ice shelf in west Antarctica, an autonomous robot observed basal terraces.

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is ...

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency ...
