New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, about 11,700 years ago. This information is of great importance to ...
Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic sea level rise of up to 65 feet in just 500 years or less. Despite the scale ...
On Ellesmere Island in the Arctic, on one of the northernmost points of land in the world, sits a small permanent seismic monitoring station buried in snow for much of the year. It is part of the ...

The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise and “catastrophic” migration away from coastlines, even if the world pulls off the miraculous and ...
The bottom of a cut-out block of 2 m thick ice covered with ice algae, placed atop the sea ice of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The disappearance of sea ice in polar regions due to global warming not ...
Briny warm water is mixing on the surface of the ocean, making sea ice melt faster, a new study found. By Sachi Kitajima Mulkey Some of the water around Antarctica has been getting saltier. And that ...
The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that Antarctic sea ice likely reached its summer minimum extent on March 1st, about five days later than usual. The NSIDC monitors the extent of sea ice ...
