Aside from the obvious problems of melting Antarctic ice, this problem of hidden volcanoes becoming active could spell ...

While impacts such as sea level rise and salinity changes are commonly reported, one lesser-known consequence is the effect on volcanoes. During deglaciation, melting of kilometers-thick ice ...

If we keep burning fossil fuels indefinitely, global warming will eventually melt all the ice at the poles and on mountaintops, raising sea level by 216 feet. Explore what the world’s new ...

Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels. It has also slowed the deepest current in the global overturning ...

A 5900-year-old whitebark pine forest has been discovered due to the melting of alpine ice in the Rocky mountains. Scientists found more than 30 trees approximately 3100 metres above sea level ...

"Over the last few decades, we have observed a lot of year-to-year variability in how much the ice patches melt," said McWethy. "Some years the late summer melting is dramatic where the ice patch ...

Climate change is causing the ice sheet to melt, raising global sea levels. The melting is also removing the weight over the rocks below, with more local consequences.
