Scientists believe this pattern of weakening could be an early warning for other Antarctic ice shelves as well.

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, ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most comprehensive account to date of how the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf in West ...

(NEXSTAR) – Antarctica’s “doomsday glacier,” referred to as such for its potential to dramatically raise global sea levels, is melting faster than we thought thanks to warmer sea water passing below ...

Two decades of satellite and GPS data show the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf slowly losing its grip on a crucial stabilizing ...

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 ...

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is much more exposed to warm ocean water than scientists previously believed, according to a new study. Dubbed the “Doomsday Glacier” by scientists because its collapse ...

The world’s widest glacier isn’t as grounded as scientists once thought. Relatively warm seawater is rushing underneath Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, contributing to rapid melting and global sea ...

The calving front of Thwaites' ice shelf. The blue area is light reflecting off ice below the water. James Yungel/NASA Icebridge Thwaites Glacier drains a huge area of Antarctica’s ice sheet – about ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
