- Warm Ocean Water Takes Toll on Antarctica’s Glaciers | They found that the ice shelves lost about 40 feet of ice per year from 2002 to 2009 and that the Smith glacier, the fastest-melting of the three, lost between about 980 and 1,600 feet over that period, or about 230 feet per year. http://www.climatecentral.org/news/warm-ocean-takes-toll-antarcticas-glaciers-20815?utm_source=daily+carbon+briefing&utm_campaign=4376d11179-cb_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_876aab4fd7-4376d11179-303423917 49 comments science

- Antarctica's ice sheet has thinned by up to 122 metres in places, with the most rapid changes occurring in West Antarctica where ocean melting has triggered glacier imbalance. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-05/uol-2ow051619.php 55 comments science
- Ice melt barriers disappearing by the double: Undersea anchors of ice that help prevent Antarctica’s land ice from slipping into the ocean are shrinking at more than twice the rate compared with 50 years ago, research shows. https://www.ed.ac.uk/news/2024/barriers-against-antarctic-ice-melt-disappearing-a 15 comments science
- Since 1994, satellite imagery has revealed over 28 trillion tonnes of ice have melted in Greenland and Antarctica, as well as the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Together, the loss amounts to a 100-metre thick sheet of ice roughly the size of the United Kingdom. https://www.sciencealert.com/the-rate-at-which-earth-s-ice-is-disappearing-is-on-track-with-our-worst-fears 7 comments science
- More than half the ice shelves ringing Antarctica that prevent huge glaciers from sliding into the ocean and lifting sea levels are at risk of crumbling.

- Warm ocean water is melting Antarctica from below, destabilising its ice sheets and contributing to sea level rise.

- Sea level fears as more of giant Antarctic glacier floating than thought: More of giant France-sized glacier in Antarctica is floating on ocean than previously thought, scientists said, raising fears it could melt faster as climate warms and have dramatic impact on rising sea-levels. http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/world/sea-level-fears-as-more-of-giant-antarctic-glacier-floating-than-thought/article/517832 6 comments worldnews
- Satellites show warming is accelerating sea level rise: Melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of sea level rise. At the current rate, the world’s oceans on average will be at least 2 feet higher by the end of the century compared to today, https://www.apnews.com/cf2f9386c024449aae126351d6c67cde/satellites-show-warming-is-accelerating-sea-level-rise 50 comments worldnews
- How Much Will Antarctica and Greenland Ice Raise Seas? - The melted water from Antarctica and Greenland, glaciers, and the thermal expansion of the ocean due to higher temperatures are expected to raise sea levels by 3.3 feet in 2100, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-much-will-antarctica-and-greenland-ice-raise-seas/ 3 comments worldnews
- East Antarctica ice more at risk than thought to long-term thaw, study finds. That "ice plug" might melt away in coming centuries if ocean waters warm up.

- Climate change is preventing ocean heat from escaping in Antarctica | Increased precipitation in the Southern Ocean and the melting of glaciers on Antarctica has flooded the ocean with massive amounts of freshwater, preventing the warm water underneath from rising to the top. http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/climate-change-is-preventing-ocean-heat-from-escaping-in-antarctica-mcgill-study-1.1710449 3 comments science
- At 2°C of warming, melting and the accelerated ice flow into the ocean will, eventually, entail 2.5m of global sea level rise just from Antarctica alone. At 4°C, it will be 6.5m and at 6°C almost 12m...

- These elephant seals are revealing a new threat caused by melting Antarctic ice - melting glaciers can, in fact, hinder the production of dense water in the Southern Ocean.

There is so much ice in Greenland and Antarctica that is melting and flowing into the ocean that the pull of gravity toward Greenland and Antarctica is changing. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2014/oct/30/new-research-quantifies-sea-level-rise 106 comments science
