Study finds Antarctic glaciers losing ice at fastest rate for 5,500 years
Updated : 3 years, 11 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 9 (ANI): At the current rate of retreat the vast glaciers, which extend deep into the heart of the ice sheet, could contribute as much as 3.4 metres to global sea-level rise over the next several centuries.

Study suggests climate tipping may not always be disastrous
Updated : 4 years, 2 months ago IST
Washington [US], March 15 (ANI): The findings of a recent mathematical analysis, of tipping in large, spatially heterogeneous systems, which natural systems like ice sheets, lakes, and forests often are, suggest that the consequences of crossing a tipping point might often be much subtler an

Melting ice sheets can be monitored using solar radio signals: Study
Updated : 4 years, 10 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 17 (ANI): A new method for seeing through ice sheets using radio signals from the sun that could enable cheap, low-power and widespread monitoring of ice sheet evolution and contribute to sea-level rise has been found by researchers at Stanford University.
