An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic did not melt during the last interglacial event, suggesting it could survive modern climate change. In their study published in the journal Nature, the team analyzed ice core samples taken from a site near the shelf’s edge. The editors at Nature have also published a Research Briefing summarizing the work.
