THE QUICKENING

Antarctic icesheet losing mass

A new study has found the east Antarctic icesheet, which sits behind Australia's Casey Station, has lost billions of tonnes of ice in the past three years.

Researchers from the University of Texas have been studying the ocean-icesheet interaction in Antarctica for the past seven years. They have found that since 2006, the east Antarctic icesheet is losing more ice than it is gaining.
