A previously unknown sub-glacial basin that is almost the size of New Jersey residing beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet near the Weddell Sea has prompted scientists to reevaluate the ice sheet location most at risk of collapse. “If we were to invent a set of conditions conducive to retreat of the West Antarctic
Scientists from the University of Sheffield in England have for the first time brought to life through illustrated maps the shrinkage of the last British ice sheet as it shrunk during the last Ice Age, some 20,000 years ago. Led by the University of Sheffield’s Professor Chris Clark from the Department of Geography, the team
