The graphic shows the water temperatures around the Antarctic. On the western side of Antarctica, water temperature at the sea floor is approaching 2 degrees C - and that is warm enough to melt the ice that is flowing on top of it. Sea temperatures on the eastern flank are colder. Credit: Dr Benjamin Davison/University of Leeds. CREDIT Dr Benjamin Davison, University of Leeds

Over 40 Percent Of Antarctica’s Ice Shelves Reduced In Volume Over 25 Years

71 of the 162 ice shelves that surround Antarctica have reduced in volume over 25 years from 1997 to 2021, with a net release of 7.5 trillion tonnes of meltwater […]

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World Ocean Atlas 201873) and the equivalent b) temperature (°C) and d) salinity (psu) values in the ACCESS-OM2-01 control run after a 200 year spin-up. All temperatures and salinities shown correspond to the bottom-most value in both observations and the model. Grey contours represent the 4000 m isobath, and the black line denotes the 1000 m isobath around the Antarctic margin.
