Overall, the study highlights that changes in the Earth's climate system can be linked across vast distances

Scientists should have a much better understanding in a few decades how high the sea level could rise, Rutgers-led study says

With an urgent need to better understand climate to predict how it will shift with more heat-trapping gases, scientists are developing new tools to measure waters below where satellites can penetrate

The findings of what the researchers call the "most realistic ocean warming experiment to date" show that the effects of future warming may far exceed expectations

The study's findings are significant, given that some predict the West Antarctic ice sheet could melt quickly due to global warming

Results shed new light on what's happening today

Strong El Niño played a major role in warming the air above the ice, researchers report

"If this continues, and with increasing amounts of ice-free land from continued glacier retreat, the Antarctic Peninsula will be a much greener place in the future," researcher says

New University of Leeds-led research calls into question a recent study from the University of Bristol that reported 45 cubic kilometres per year increase in ice loss from the sector

New research describes for the first time the role that warm, dry winds play in influencing the behavior of Antarctic ice shelves
