Scientists at Copernicus said there were some surprising developments - such as the steep loss of Antarctic sea ice in recent months - but that the overall climate data were in line with ...
‘There is some concern that this may be the beginning of a long-term trend of decline for Antarctic sea ice’ Antarctic sea ice hits ‘record-smashing’ new winter low, data shows Skip to ...
(Reuters) -Sea ice that packs the ocean around Antarctica hit record low levels this winter, the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said on Monday, adding to scientists' fears that the ...
A sea-level rise of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) would occur if the ice sheet collapses, leaving ice caps on the mountains, and 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in) if those ice caps also melt. [101] Isostatic rebound may contribute an additional 1 m (3 ft 3 in) to global sea levels over another 1,000 years. [ 100 ]
The Antarctic sea ice cover is highly seasonal, with very little ice in the austral summer, expanding to an area roughly equal to that of Antarctica in winter.It peaks (~18 × 10^6 km 2) during September (comparable to the surface area of Pluto), which marks the end of austral winter, and retreats to a minimum (~3 × 10^6 km 2) in February.
‘Lower sea ice extent means that ocean waves will pound the coast of the giant ice sheet, further reducing ice shelves around Antarctica’ Antarctic sea ice hits new record low in 2023 Skip to ...
This heat wave lead to some regions of Antarctica facing temperatures that were up to 22 °C (39.6 °F) higher than normal and caused significantly reduced levels of sea ice, leading to extensive research on the event by a major global research project consisting of 54 members, who described the complexity of the heat wave's cause as "head ...
