New research has for the first time tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-ups to three large-scale iceberg ‘calving’ events in Antarctica, ...

The iceberg was the result of a "calving" event that scientists had been expecting for about a decade A massive iceberg larger than New York City broke off of an ice shelf in Antarctica this week, the ...

Crash diet alert: Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf has slimmed down by about 256 billion tons. As part of a major calving event, an iceberg nearly the size of Houston, Texas, separated from the continent ...

A deafening rumble alerted two scientists to an amazing sight: the collapse of one of Greenland's biggest and fastest-moving glaciers. And because the scientists were already in place with a ...
