Climate engineering could slow Antarctic ice loss
Scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere could slow rapid melting in West Antarctica and reduce the risk of catastrophic sea-level rise, according to a study led by Indiana…

New threat to Antarctic fur seals
Antarctic fur seals that were hunted to near extinction have recovered but now face dangerous decline because of a lack of food, new research suggests.
The study of fur seals, almost all of…
Antarctic Sea Ice Is at Record Lows. Is It an Alarming Shift?
Even more stunning, it was only in the mid-2010s that Antarctic sea ice was at record highs—at least highs since satellite observations began—having increased slightly but steadily in the…

Researchers have identified a technique that may aid in the Antarctic ice shelves' melting.
A multinational…
Scientists Are Uncovering Ominous Waters Under Antarctic Ice
It’s not a tremendous amount of melt per square foot. But over an area that’s the size of two large European countries, that scales up. “What we concluded is the melting is really small—it's…
River longer than the Thames beneath Antarctic ice sheet could affect ice loss
An unexpected river under the Antarctic ice sheet affects the flow and melting of ice, potentially accelerating ice loss as the climate warms.
The 460km-long river is revealed in a new…
Faster in the Past: New seafloor images of West Antarctic Ice Sheet upend understanding of Thwaites…
The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica -- about the size of Florida -- has been an elephant in the room for scientists trying to make global sea level rise predictions.
This massive ice…
