- Hidden ocean heat is creeping toward Antarctica’s fragile ice shelves
Warm water in the Southern Ocean is expanding and moving closer to Antarctica, threatening fragile ice shelves. Scientists used ship data, robotic floats, and machine learning to detect this shift over the past 20 years.
- Antarctica is melting from BELOW: Deep-ocean heat is marching closer to the fragile ice shelves, study warns
A study warns that Antarctica's ice shelves are melting from below as deep-ocean heat moves closer, threatening the stability of the fragile ice structures. The research highlights the growing risk of accelerated ice loss due to warming ocean currents.
