Using artificial intelligence, satellite observations, and climate model projections, a team of researchers from Switzerland and Belgium calculate that for every tenth of a degree of increase in global air temperature, an average of nearly 9,000 meteorites disappear from the surface of the ice sheet
Losses of ice from Greenland have caused about 17 percent of observed sea level rise between the years 2006 and 2018, and if the remaining five collapse, the northern hemisphere will have lost all its shelves.
The sudden unexpected collapse of the small Conger Ice Shelf off East Antarctica may be a warning of bigger things to come. This is particularly concerning
Finding meteorites in the pristine landscape of Antarctica could be easier than most places but "physically hazardous" due to its environment. But researchers thought, "what if you know where to look?"
Although meteorites are known to fall all over the world, the environment and unique processes in Antarctica make them somewhat easier to find on the pristine, snowy landscape. Still, collecting meteorites in Antarctica is physically grueling and h
