Amelia Shevenell, PhD, Associate Professor, University of South Florida, is co-lead author of a study published in Nature that concludes the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is more unstable than realized.

As the ice melts, the pressure in the magma chambers eases and the compressed magma can expand, leading to eruptions. Anatarctica has 140 hidden volcanoes.

But efforts to predict the East Antarctic’s role in future sea-level rise have been hindered by an absence of data about the ice sheet’s response to warming periods in the past. The geological history ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...
