New map reveals landscape beneath Antarctica in unprecedented detail Scientists believe the map could shed light on how Antarctica's vast ice sheet will respond to climate change.

The landscape hidden beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been mapped from space for the first time. Scientists used hi‑res satellite observations to track how the continent’s frozen surface bunches and dips as it moves over the rugged rock bed below. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sentinel-1's decade of essential data over shifting ice sheets The extent and speed of ice moving off the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica into the sea – an important dynamic for climate and sea-rise modelling – has been captured over a 10-year period by sa...

Is anderhalve graad teveel voor de ijskappen van Groenland en Antarctica?

Laat ik beginnen met een waarschuwing. Wie een absoluut zeker ‘ja’ of ‘nee’ verwacht als antwoord op de vraag hierboven, moet ik teleurstellen. Absolute zekerheid kan de wetenschap hierover niet geven. Los van het feit dat…

Researchers awarded funding to investigate critical climate tipping points in Antarctica The UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM), based at Northumbria University, has been awarded over £400,000 by the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate tipping points in the Earth’...
