Smaller calving events, not large icebergs, drive Antarctic ice sheet loss. Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate ...

Research, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, suggests that mass unloading due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets (isostatic rebound) is triggering eruptions of greater frequency ...

"The data analysed shows how important it is to monitor the Antarctic regularly and over many years. Only long time series of observations allow us to distinguish between natural variability and ...

There is indirect evidence that, during the last interglacial period, about 125,000 years ago, parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreated. An ice core drilled from the ice sheet near the ...
