Nature Geoscience - Grounding-line motion of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by climate variability, challenging the assumption that the bed slope at the grounding line alone controls their...

K-means clustering, a machine-learning tool, can categorize ambient sound in glacier fjords into five prototypes linked to glacier activity An 8-month acoustic data set shows glacier and ice-méla...

Abstract. Ocean conditions in fjords play a key role in the accelerating ice mass loss of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers. Ice mélange and icebergs have been shown to impact fjord circulation,...

Antarctic ice cores provide a unique archive of Earth’s atmosphere and its largest extant ice sheet. The oldest continuous ice core extends back 80...

This study uses the physics of bumpy surfaces to derive simple equations that predict the size of lakes that form from melt on the surface of ice sheets, finding that there are fundamental limits on t...

Damages such as crevasses or cracks can be early indicators of ice shelf weakening. Here, the authors quantify changes in damage structures in Antarctic ice sheets, which show sensitivity to warming

Ice shelf evolution combining flow, flexure, and fracture

Abstract. Ocean temperatures have warmed in the fjords surrounding the Greenland Ice Sheet, causing increased melt along their ice fronts and rapid glacier retreat and contributing to rising global se...

Abstract. The rate of mass loss from the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets is controlled in large part by the processes of ice flow and ice fracture. Studies have shown these processes to be coupled:...

The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts its future stability and requires revisions to predictions of sea level rise.

Funding for the National Science Foundation, which finances research at US bases on the icy continent, has already been reduced, and the agency faces steeper cuts soon.

On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick announced that nearly $4 million in funding is ending to Princeton University after a detailed, careful, and thorough review of the...

A new UCS study attributes substantial temperature and sea level rise to emissions traced to the largest fossil fuel producers.

Daily life at US-run Antarctic stations has already been disrupted. Scientists worry that the long-term impacts could upend not only important research but the continent’s delicate geopolitics.
