New Research Reveals Antarctica’s Ice Is Stretching to Its Breaking Point
Stanford researchers have uncovered a critical missing piece in the complex puzzle of Antarctica’s ice movement, using machine learning and high-resolution satellite data. Their findings, published in Science,
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.
This Is What Antarctica Would Look Like Without Its Ice
There are few frontiers in the world that can still be said to be unexplored. One of these terra incognita is the land beneath Antarctica’s ice sheets. Buried under kilometres of ice is a fascinating realm of canyons,
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.
