By late 2024, Antarctica experienced significant melting along its coastal regions, even though the melt season was less than halfway through. As 2025 began, meltwater was still visible on the ice sheet’s surface, stretching from theAntarctic Peninsulain the west to ice shelves in the east, ...

New analysis of Antarctica's melting glaciers refines our understanding of climate change, while risks of global impacts remain significant.
"The problem is that the melting ice and rising sea tends to follow an exponential path," said Englander. "That would change or evensubmerge many coastal cities. The effect would also go through marshlands and far up tidal rivers."

Antarctic ice sheets melted rapidly 20 million years ago due to orbital changes. Researchers warn modern emissions could trigger similar instability, urging climate action. Geoscientists led by the University of Leicester and the University of Southampton have discovered periods of sudden melting in the...
Ice-sheet collapseLithosphere thicknessMelt lubrication2022 The AuthorAntarctica is losing ice mass by basal melting associated with processes in deep Earth and reflected in geothermal heat flux. The latter is poorly known and existing models based on disputed assumptions are controversial. Here I ...
