Modeling suggests slow thermal convection beneath Greenland's ice sheet may form plume-like distortions seen in radar data.

Predicting the expected loss of ice sheet mass is difficult due to the complexity of modeling ice sheet behavior. To better understand this loss, a team of researchers has been improving the ...

The biggest uncertainty in end-of-the-century sea level rise comes from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), the miles-thick, continent-sized polar ice mass that covers the South Pole. However, current ...

New Year's Day, 2002. Without warning, a few large cracks in the Larsen B ice shelf appeared in satellite imagery. Within days, car-sized chunks of ice appeared in the water. Then shards of ice larger ...
