Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected.
A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke ...

Antarctica's ice shelves are thinning faster than expected, increasing sea level rise fears
The problem is especially concerning because this process can feed on itself.
A rare dataset collected by instruments at the point where Antarctica's largest ice shelf begins to float reveals ocean processes that drive melting at this critical part of the continent.
