Antarctic sea-level contribution is largely controlled by coastal ice-sheet processes, emphasizing the need for detailed observations in this region Data gaps in the ice sheet's coastal zone are ...

Antarctic ice shelves face increasing collapse risk as environmental stresses intensify. Long-term weakening, ocean-induced thinning, and loss of stabilizing sea ice can drive disintegration yet are m...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise projections.

Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula retreated 25 kilometres in just 15 months. Its rapid melt could have implications for other glaciers and the rate of sea level rise

If you’re not a particular kind of mountain sports nerd, you might not be familiar with the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour. But for people who live their lives in the overlapping circl...

Nature Geoscience - Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of...

Background There has been ever-growing research fitting movement models to marine mammal satellite tracking data in recent years, yet little focus on methods attempting to go beyond individual restric...

Strategies for academic networking at conferences, using formal networks and committees, and informal or peer networks.

Iceberg calving accounts for about half of Antarctic ice-shelf mass loss. We used satellite imagery to analyze annual ice-shelf front changes and major calving events over eight years from austral sum...

Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate. Thi...

This study provides a continent-wide assessment of surface meltwater area in Antarctica between 2006 and 2021, highlighting recent increases in magnitude and variability in East Antarctica, with indic...

The loss of sea ice enhances swell-induced flexural stress in Antarctic ice shelves before large-scale calving events, according to satellite observations and swell-induced flexural stress modelling.

The winners of Nature’s 2025 photo competition braved crashing waves and misty mountains to capture their science.

Massive tabular icebergs broke off of the UK during the last ice age. The widespread break-up of the ice shelves which produced these giant icebergs can be traced to around 18,000 years ago, and likel...

Job title: Ph.D. position in Arctic Geophysics (Satellite Remote Sensing) (278043), Employer: UNIS, Deadline: Friday, April 25, 2025

We write in solidarity with our colleagues in the USA and internationally, who are suffering as efforts to increase equality, diversity and inclusion are systematically eroded and destroyed. It is imp...

Greenland-wide observations of crevasse volume and distribution suggest substantial increases in crevassing between 2016 and 2021 at marine-terminating sectors with accelerating ice flow.

Abstract. Active subglacial lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet provide insights into the dynamic subglacial environment, with implications for ice-sheet dynamics and mass balance. Most previously i...

ASIAQ – Greenland Survey is recruiting a new colleague to join the Hydrology, Climate & Environment (HKM) department. We are looking for a motivated, engaged person who can be part of a department wit
