A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most ...

Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded ...

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier collapsed at record speed, revealing how quickly ice loss could drive sea level rise. A glacier ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise ...

Antarctica's so-called Doomsday Glacier, nicknamed because it is huge and coming apart, is mostly thwarting an international effort to figure out how dangerously vulnerable it is. A large iceberg ...

Scientists have discovered another cause for melting glaciers, and it's one that has been overlooked before. According to Earth.com, fast-moving winds in West Antarctica frequently blow over the ...

Teams of scientists sailing to Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier, are having trouble getting there. A giant iceberg, spawned by the falling apart Florida-sized glacier, and ...
