UC Irvine & NASA researchers have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing ...

UC Irvine and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory researchers found that small, short-term eddies and vortices push warm water beneath Antarctica’s glaciers, causing aggressive melting. Ocean storms and ...

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 ...

When snow falls on the ice sheet, where subzero temperatures ensure it doesn’t melt. Antarctic temperatures regularly reach ...
