Antarctic's massive Totten Glacier nearing 'tipping point' in global warming warn scientists
Sea level rise has claimed five islands in the Pacific: first scientific evidence

Why has the sea ice cover surrounding Antarctica been increasing slightly, in sharp contrast to the drastic loss of sea ice occurring in the Arctic Ocean?

Nearly 40 million Indians will be at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, with people in Mumbai and Kolkata having the maximum exposure to coastal flooding in future due to rapid urbanisation and e
