"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."
14 (Xinhua) -- American and Dutch scientists found that yearly ice mass loss in Antarctica increased sixfold in the past 40 years. The study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed the accelerated melting elevated global sea levels more than 1.2 ...

A small, pencil-shaped robot gave scientists new insights about the Thwaites ice shelf and why it's melting so quickly. Feb 15, 2023 Giant iceberg breaks off Antarctic ice shelf This is the second major break-off from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf in two years. Jan 24, 2023 00:59...
The melting rate increased drastically in the new century. It was an average of 48 gigatons annually per decade from 1979 to 2001, but the pace jumped 280 percent to 134 gigatons for 2001 to 2007, according to the study. "As the Antarctic ice sheet continues to melt away, we expect mult...
Antarctica - Polar, Ice, Climate: The unique weather and climate of Antarctica provide the basis for its familiar appellations—Home of the Blizzard and White Desert. By far the coldest continent, Antarctica has winter temperatures that range from −12
Antarctica(南极洲)’s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered...
Global warming could reveal an ancient river landscape that has been preserved underneath the East Antarctic Ice Shelf million of years, according to a new study. 1 year ago Why 'unavoidable' melting at Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' could be catastrophic Melting in West Antarctica, a region wh...
