China has opened its first overseas atmospheric monitoring station in Antarctica. The station will help study concentration changes in the ...

Scientists have discovered that Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting rapidly and may be on an irreversible path to collapse, potentiall...

New research by British and American scientists indicates that tidal action under the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica will accelerate meltin...

A recent study reveals a new, alarming mechanism of Antarctic ice sheet melting, which current sea level rise models do not account for. A ...

Researchers, led by those at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), using climate datasets and models found that Antarctic sea ice reaching hi...

Along with documenting a recent dramatic crash in its extent, the first-ever broad review of Antarctic landfast ice highlighted its far-rea...

The researchers noted that limiting temperature rise to two degrees Celsius rather than four degrees Celsius would halve the area at risk, ...

Greenland and Antarctica's ice sheets could together contribute more than 38 centimetres to global sea level rise by 2100, if greenhouse ga...

The researchers were able to discern that between 1979 and 1990, Antarctica shed an average of 40 gigatonnes of ice mass annually. From 200...

Chinese scientists built a 4-kilometer-long, 50-meter-wide runway for fixed-wing aircraft in 2009 during the 25th expedition in the Antarct...

Using state-of-the-art computer modelling, Golledge and his colleagues simulated the ice-sheet's response to a warming climate.

"If we lose these ice shelves, the Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise by 2100 will be nearer 40 centimetres," said Golledge.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have finally proved that life exists in a lake buried under half a mile (800 meters) of ice on the west...

Changes in the winds circling Antarctica may accelerate global sea level rise significantly more than previously estimated, a new research ...

A major Antarctic glacier has passed its "tipping point" and is poised to collapse that could raise global sea levels by 24cm, British scie...

Days before the Copenhagen climate conference kicks off, a major study by a group of 100 international scientists has said that sea levels ...
