Two teams of scientists say the long-feared collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has begun, kicking off an "unstoppable" rise in sea levels. IE 11 is not supported.

Scientists are warning that the West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse, potentially causing sea levels to rise more than 49 feet by 2500. The study published in the journal Nature this week ...

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which holds enough water to raise global seas by several feet, is thinning. Scientists have been warning of its collapse, based on theories, but with few firm ...

Collapse of West Antarctic Ice Sheet May Be Worse Than Scientists Predicted. New research finds the impact on sea-level rise could be way worse than anticipated.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds 10 percent of Antarctica's ice. Glaciers here sit in a giant bowl, with their base below sea level, making melting a concern since the 1970s.

The West Antarctic ice sheet could cause metres of sea level rise if it collapses – but more than 120,000 years ago, it may have survived an even warmer period than it is experiencing now ...

West Antarctica's collapse alone could cause sea levels to rise by more than a meter, or 3.4 feet, by 2100, according to a March study in Nature. Other studies project sea level rise of around 10 ...

Melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet is likely unstoppable, two new papers published Monday indicate. That means the sea level rise projects by 2100 will need to be revised, closer to 3 feet of ...

Collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is 'unavoidable,' study finds. News. By Sascha Pare published 24 October 2023 British Antarctic Survey researchers have found that the rate at which ice is ...

West Antarctic ice sheet has not reached its tipping point towards irreversible collapse – yet, new research finds There is a limited window of time before large-scale, irreversible ice loss in ...

The catastrophic collapse of the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet is underway, researchers said today (May 12). IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our site on another browser.
