Melting ice sheets have driven roughly two-thirds of longer-term sea level rise, although last year — the planet’s hottest on record — the two factors flipped, making ocean warming the main ...

East Antarctica’s Wilkes Land and Queen Mary Land region recorded 108 gigatons of average ice sheet mass gain per year from ...

A surprising surge in snowfall from 2021 to 2023 caused Antarctica to gain record amounts of ice, reversing 20 years of steady melting. This slowed global sea level rise by nearly 15% and sparked ...

As NASA reveals sea levels rose at a fasster rate than expected in 2024, chilling maps reveal which states in the US could be ...

Hidden beneath the Antarctic ice lies a system of lakes and watercourses. A research team, including ETH researchers, has for ...

Understanding these changing dynamics and what drives them is crucial for improved projections of future ice-sheet change and contributions to sea-level rise." The research was funded by UKRI ...

The cities include not just those on the coasts, where relative sea level is a concern ... Melting Glaciers at the End of the Ice Age May Have Sped Up Continental Drift, Fueled Volcanic Eruptions ...

A research team discovered that subglacial water could triple the amount of ice flowing to the ocean and intensify sea level rise — among the effects that they called "deeply concerning." Researchers ...

Common assumptions about the effects of the end of the last ice age may be wrong, which could have important implications for ...

According to Forbes, melting ice and breakaways from Thwaites already account for around '10 percent' of global sea level rise at the moment. If the thing collapsed entirely then sea levels could ...

This thermal expansion has contributed about one-third of the sea level rise observed globally. Ice loss from glaciers and polar ice sheets, together with changes in the amount of water stored on the ...
