Study reveals new Antarctic process contributing to sea level rise and climate change
A new IMAS-led study has revealed a previously undocumented process where melting glacial ice sheets change the ocean in a way that further accelerates the rate of ice melt and sea level rise. Led by

Global warming pushing Antarctica’s living organisms towards extinction’
The populations of the Adelie and Chinstrap penguin species are declining as there shortage of food and their snowy habitat is shrinking The global warming is not only causing melting of glaciers in

Freshening by glacial meltwater enhances melting of ice shelves and reduces formation of Antarctic bottom water
<p>Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the ocean heat flux

Net retreat of Antarctic glacier grounding lines
Grounding lines are a key indicator of ice-sheet instability, because changes in their position reflect imbalance with the surround-ing ocean and affect the flow of inland ice. Although the grounding lines
