A 1550 square km (963 sq mi.) iceberg, designated A81 broke off Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf. A time-lapse of the 'calving ...

Antarctic ice shelves are shrinking mainly due to frequent small calving events, while major iceberg break-offs remain rare ...

Following the calving of the A-81 iceberg at the end of January 2023, the Brunt Ice Shelf is moving faster than before. It is currently moving approximately 4 meters a day towards the sea ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

The formation, movement and melting of icebergs offer insights into some of the most extreme areas of the cryosphere, like Antarctica and Greenland.

It found that while there has been broad ice shelf loss due to warming temperatures, the frequency and size of major iceberg calving events has not changed significantly. This study was led by ...

The trillion-ton slab of ice that scientists call a "megaburg" broke off from the Antarctic’s Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986. Scientists catalogued it under the name A23a. It was stuck at sea for decades ...

While warming temperatures are clearly driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, the study reveals that major iceberg calving events have not significantly increased in frequency or size. Instead, ...
