The amount of heat flowing toward the base of the West Antarctic ice sheet from geothermal sources deep within the Earth is surprisingly high, according to a new study led by UC Santa Cruz researchers ...

Despite this temporary slowdown in ice loss, the underlying climate challenges remain pressing. The Antarctic ice sheet continues to be highly vulnerable to both atmospheric and oceanic warming.

And, a new study warns of a sinister threat buried deep beneath the melting ice - one that may cause a feedback loop that speeds up the melt of the already precarious West Antarctic ice sheet. S ...

The paper takes advantage of very precise measurements of Antarctic ice mass from a series of NASA satellites called GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment). Since the first GRACE ...

Data on ice-thinning rates from the European Space Agency's (ESA) CryoSat mission was also used in the study. Leeds worked in collaboration with researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS ...
