A top climate scientist says we may have crossed a dangerous tipping point in Antarctica—and the long-term fallout could be worse than we’re ready to face.

Greenland’s Ice Sheet Collapse Could Be Closer Than We Think The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?

The ice sheet was hanging by a thread, and a slight shift in the temperature of global water levels could cause catastrophic damage to people.

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive chemical analysis, the researchers discovered just how extreme and outlier the ...

Old Antarctic photos help University of Copenhagen scientists trace ice shelf collapse and predict future sea level rise.

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are on course for rapid retreat, even collapse, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise even if the world pulls off the miraculous and keeps global ...

Earth’s major climate goal is too warm for the polar ice sheets, study says If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice ...

A major ice shelf in Antarctica appears to have survived a period of hot temperatures more than 120,000 years ago, indicating that the West Antarctic ice sheet may not be as vulnerable as we ...

Research involving the University of Liverpool has discovered a trend of increasing surface meltwater in East Antarctica. In ...

Scientists aren’t too optimistic and have said there’s a 'grim outlook' if the glacier melts, plunging parts of the world ...

On 28 November 1966, an American airplane flies over the Antarctic Peninsula just south of the southernmost tip of Chile. On ...
