Tidal action on the underside of the Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic will “inexorably” accelerate melting this century, according to new research by British and American scientists. The researchers ...
Scientists using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots have found the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is melting at an accelerating rate and could be on an irreversible path to collapse, spelling ...
A recent study has challenged some of the most alarming predictions about Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, dubbed the "Doomsday Glacier," owing to the seismic impacts it could have on the world's ...
Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting fast; this much, scientists already know. However, according to a new study, it's melting faster than we thought — and that spells trouble for sea-level-rise ...
Researchers have estimated the Antarctic “Doomsday Glacier”—which has been predicted to cause a devastating rise in global sea levels if it collapses—isn’t melting as quickly as scientists previously ...
Antarctica's so-called "doomsday glacier" -- nicknamed because of its high risk of collapse and threat to global sea level -- has the potential to rapidly retreat in the coming years, scientists say, ...
We could witness a major meltdown in the near future: Researchers have discovered that Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is melting at a much faster rate than anticipated, which could cause seas to rise ...
This story was originally published by Yale E360 and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. They call it the Doomsday Glacier. A chunk of Antarctic ice as big as Florida and two ...
Scientists studying Thwaites Glacier, ominously dubbed the "Doomsday Glacier," have unveiled a rapidly evolving and complex environment that could lead to dramatic sea-level rise in the centuries ...
The term "Doomsday Glacier" has been thrown around when referring to Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, which has been under intense scrutiny due to fears that its melting could lead to significant ...
