The melting of the Amery Ice Shelf poses severe risks to the global climate system, as this critical structure helps stabilize the Antarctic ice sheet. The shelf’s destabilization could lead to ...

Satellite data from early 2025 revealed extensive melting at Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, highlighting its vulnerability. As a natural barrier against ice flow, its weakening could accelerate sea ...

These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...

Beneath Antarctica's ice ... further accelerating melting. This process could persist for centuries, even if greenhouse gas emissions were reduced. Models suggest that this feedback loop could further ...

while flow is how fast the ice is moving downstream. Both melt and faster flow would contribute to sea level rises. Australian Antarctic Division field leader Simon Cross said this was the final ...

Deep under the frozen desert of western Antarctica ... If the ice sheet melts sufficiently, the changes in stress and pressure on Earth's crust, and the magma chambers therein, could generate a ...
