A 1550 square km (963 sq mi.) iceberg, designated A81 broke off Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf. A time-lapse of the 'calving process' was captured by satellites. Credit; ESA - European Space Agency ...
An article in EOS reported that researchers have been closely monitoring the base of the Ronne ice shelf for years. The scientists drilled a hole in the shelf using hot water to lower sensors to the ...
A study published in Geophysical Research Letters in March showed that the Ross Ice Shelf slips daily, reported Washington University in St. Louis, in a story posted by SciTechDaily. According to ...

Time-lapse of radar images shows how the Antarctic ice shelf collapses
Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and ...
Beneath Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf lies one of the least measured oceans on Earth—a vast, dark cavity roughly twice the volume of the North Sea. This hidden ocean matters because it is the ice ...
Antarctica’s most threatened glacier is about to be further destabilised, as the floating ice shelf in front of Thwaites glacier is set to break away. “Its final demise could happen suddenly, and to ...
Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...
Heavy pooling meltwater can fracture ice, potentially leading to ice shelf collapse. When air temperatures in Antarctica rise and glacier ice melts, water can pool on the surface of floating ice ...
Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, buttressing a dozen major glaciers and slowing their flow into the ocean, may be surprisingly sensitive to warming. Several thousand years ago, the Ross Ice Shelf and ...
But it is drilled ice cores that unlock the most useful data, especially when they are subjected to a barrage of tests at a ...
It is relatively common for ice shelves in Antarctica to spawn icebergs. It is less common for an ice shelf to completely disintegrate. In March 2022, an ice shelf in East Antarctica did both. The ...
