Antarctica’s hidden ice dynamics will redefine sea level projections
As the planet heats up and Antarctica’s ice sheet melts at a faster pace, scientists warn of a steady rise in sea levels.
ENSO's impact on Antarctic sea ice predictability: A study on linear and nonlinear dynamics
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the most prominent interannual climate variability signal, has been widely studied for its teleconnections with Antarctic sea ice variability. However, its influence on the predictability of Antarctic sea ice remains poorly understood,
Antarctic sea ice falls to near-record low as study reveals 'structural change'
Scientists have found it difficult to capture longer-term changes to Antarctic sea ice as satellite records date from 45 years ago, but a recent reconstruction winds the record back to 1899.
What's under all that ice in Antarctica? New map has answers.
A new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed.
AI reveals new insights into the flow of Antarctic ice
As the planet warms, Antarctica's ice sheet is melting and contributing to sea-level rise around the globe. Antarctica holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by 190 feet, so precisely predicting how it will move and melt now and in the future is vital for protecting coastal areas.
New Map Reveals a Hidden Landscape Beneath Antarctica’s Ice—And It’s More at Risk Than Ever
A groundbreaking new map,Bedmap3, has provided the most detailed view yet of the hidden landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet, revealing towering mountains, deep valleys, and critical grounding lines where ice meets the ocean.
