For decades, Antarctica seemed to defy global warming. Since satellites began monitoring the poles in the late 1970s, the ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.

Antarctic sea ice is shrinking faster than expected. New research shows how winds, ocean heat, and feedback loops caused this ...

New data confirms what climate experts have long worried about: a warm mass of deep polar water has expanded toward Antarctica.

Warmer ocean temperatures are causing melting in Antarctica's ice shelves, posing an overlooked threat to global coastlines ...

For decades, it seemed Antarctica might be insulated from rapid ice melting, but then sea ice began to decline dramatically.

Beware the global meltdown. Antarctica is melting from below due to rising heat from the ocean, threatening the ice shelves, potentially accelerating sea rise and other catastrophic climate effects ...

A new decades-long study of oceanographic data provides the first evidence that deep-ocean heat has moved closer to Antarctica, threatening the fragile ice shelves that fringe the continent. The study ...

Strong waves from Antarctica are hitting the Pacific coast of the Americas with greater intensity, increasing coastal risks.

For years, climate models warned that warm deep water around Antarctica could edge closer to the continent’s icy fringe. Now ...

Several recent studies also suggest that Antarctic sea ice and ice shelves are becoming more unstable because of trapped ...
