Rapid melting of 'sleeping giant' Antarctic glacier
Australia's icebreaker will soon depart on its maiden dedicated scientific voyage to study one of the largest glaciers in Antarctica.
Thwaites Glacier: the melting, Antarctic monster of sea level rise – podcast
The Thwaites Glacier is one of many bodies of ice that are melting, but this massive, Antarctic glacier is uniquely important when it comes to sea level rise. “We’re talking a
Melting glaciers increase loss of freshwater resources and rise global sea levels
The melting ice from glaciers worldwide is leading to an increased loss of regional freshwater resources. And it is causing global sea levels to rise at ever-greater rates. Since the year 2000, glaciers have been losing 273 billion tons of ice annually,
Global glacier melt is accelerating, scientists say
Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected in the coming years and drive sea levels higher.
The World’s Glaciers Are Melting Faster Than Anticipated — Raising Sea Levels
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a new Nature study revealing that glaciers are melting faster than anticipated. This accelerated ice loss is driving up sea levels,
Glaciers melting much faster than expected, scientists warn
Leading scientists are warning that the world's glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate far faster than had ever previously been anticipated.
