These images, snapped by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on January 1, show pools of pale blue meltwater peppered across the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This melting comes despite ...

Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are immense. Yet the ocean processes that control basal melting, and the fate of the entire Antarctic ice sheet, occur on the scale of millimetres.

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...
