Human activity has driven retreat of Antarctica's fastest melting glacier #Antarctica

Human activity has driven retreat of Antarctica's fastest melting glacier
Human-driven climate change significantly intensified the retreat of one of the most important glaciers in Antarctica during the 20th century. The Pine Island Glacier, which drains a large part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Amundsen Sea, is one of the biggest contributors to global sea level rise.

Record winter heat in Antarctica is worrying scientists
The new heat record comes amid a prolonged heatwave that has seen maximum daily temperatures above zero degrees for three consecutive weeks.

🚨new publication alert🚨
Some types of El Niño lead to more melt over the Ross Ice Shelf in #Antarctica.
In our paper led by PhD student Sanjiban Dutta, we look at the synoptic relationship where Eastern Pacific El Niños channel warm moist air over the Ross Ice Shelf. One to watch with the current #ElNino building..

Antarctic glacier collapses at record speed as Hektoria retreats 15 miles in just 15 months
Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier collapsed with shocking speed, retreating 15 miles in only 15 months and setting a modern record for grounded ice loss. Scientists say warming conditions and ocean-driven instability turned the glacier from seemingly stable to rapidly unraveling almost overnight.
