Accelerating Ice Loss Ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica is happening at an alarming pace. In recent decades, scientists have observed a significant increase in the rate at which ice is melting in these regions.

This is the first research in which experts incorporated the factor of 'subglacial plumbing' to analyse retreating Antarctica's glaciers.

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences. Scientists used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to model how melting ice sheets might change the Antarctic Circumpolar Current,

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise,
