New Study: Antarctic Ice Melt Has Contributed Less Than 1 Centimeter To Sea Level Rise In The Last 30 Years

A new study reports Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) glacier melt has added a grand total of just 0.74 cm to sea levels from 1992-2020. The authors apparently consider this amount − +0.26...

New Study: The Antarctic Ice Sheet Gained Mass From 2020-2024 Due To Staggering Snow And Ice Accumulation

Antarctica as a whole has only contributed 0.35 cm to sea level rise since 2003. According to a new study published in a Nature journal, from 2020 to 2024 the Antarctic Ice Sheet (...

Greenland, Antarctica have lost 11,309 billion tonnes of ice since 1979, raising sea levels by 31.4 mm

Greenland and Antarctica have lost 11,309 billion tonnes of ice since 1979, raising global sea levels by 31.4 millimetres, a new assessment finds. Faster-flowing glaciers accounted...

Antarctica Gained a Record 695 Billion Tons of Ice in Just Two Years

A tropical warming event helped drive record snowfall and a temporary 695-billion-ton ice gain in East Antarctica without reversing long-term Antarctic ice loss. Between 2021 and 2...

Antarctica’s Sea Ice Has Gone From Record Highs to Near-Record Lows

Antarctica’s sea ice has plunged from record highs to its third-lowest winter peak, revealing a dramatic reversal in the frozen continent’s recent history. Antarctic sea ice reache...

Antarctica gained 695 billion tons in 2021-23 as tropical warmth drove heavy snowfall

Between 2021 and 2023, Antarctica experienced a notable gain in ice mass, primarily driven by exceptional snowfall in East Antarctica. This unusual occurrence, influenced by warmer...

Antarctica as a whole has only contributed 0.35 cm to sea level rise since 2003. The post New Study: The Antarctic Ice Sheet Gained Mass From 2020-2024 Due To Staggering Snow And I...

Antarctica’s sea ice has undergone a stunning reversal

Antarctic sea ice reached its third-lowest winter maximum in 2026, extending a remarkable decline that began after years of record-breaking growth. Scientists are investigating whe...

An Unmapped Region of Antarctica Could Be Harboring a Major Threat

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin contains enough ice to raise global mean sea level by 10 to 13 feet.

Antarctica gained a record 695 billion tons of ice. Scientists found the surprising reason

East Antarctica gained an astonishing 695 billion tons of ice between 2021 and 2023, temporarily slowing Antarctica’s long-term decline. Researchers found that warming thousands of...

‘Concerning’ low sea ice persists as Antarctic hits third-lowest winter peak

Antarctic sea ice has recorded its third-smallest winter peak extent since satellite records began 48 years ago, new data reveals.… The post ‘Concerning’ low sea ice persists as An...

Mysterious Antarctic region that could lift sea levels by several metres must be studied - researchers

It’s largely unexplored - but scientists know the Wilkes Subglacial Basin is incredibly important for predicting the future.

Earth lost more than 12 trillion tons of ice from Greenland and Antarctica in 47 years, satellites show

A major report has found that 12.5 trillion tons of ice from Greenland and Antarctica have melted since 1979. The massive glacier melt is mainly attributed to warmer waters eroding...

Satellite data gives clearer picture of how ice sheets are losing mass

The longest satellite record ever compiled shows the vast majority of ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica is due to glaciers flowing faster, rather than warmer air temperatures...

Forces deep inside Earth helped Antarctica freeze before the Arctic

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why Antarctica froze millions of years before the Arctic. Slow-moving waves deep inside Earth gradually lifted East Antarctica, building m...

Over 12 trillion tons of Earth’s polar ice has melted, as scientists warn about sea-level rise

About 12.5 trillion tons (11.3 trillion metric tons) of ice from glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica have melted since 1979, which is enough frozen water to stack ice 5 feet (1.5...

Satellites show Earth lost more than 12 trillion tons of ice from Greenland, Antarctica in 47 years

About 12.5 trillion tons of ice from glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica have melted since 1979, which is enough frozen water to stack ice five feet deep across the continental Un...

Forscher warnen vor blinden Flecken in der Antarktis

Wie stark der Meeresspiegel steigt, hängt auch vom Eis der Antarktis ab. Doch Forschern fehlen wichtige Daten über den Untergrund und die Bereiche unter den Eisschelfen – mit Folge...

Antarctic sea ice reaches third-lowest winter peak on record

NASA says the ice likely peaked on Sept. 14 at nearly 6.8 million square miles, around the time the Southern Hemisphere's winter was coming to an end.

Antarctica’s ‘doomsday’ glacier will keep melting even if oceans cool

Computer models suggest that unrealistically cold oceans would be insufficient to stop Thwaites glacier retreating, although a neighbouring glacier might begin to grow
