An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise ...

Underwater “storms” are melting the ice shelf protecting the Thwaites “doomsday” glacier in Antarctica, raising concerns that we could be underestimating future sea level rise. Up to 10 kilometres ...

As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is often brought up in conversations about global warming or glacier retreat, ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica -- widely known as the "Doomsday Glacier" -- is changing more quickly than almost any other ice-ocean system on the planet. Its future behavior remains one of the ...

Pine Island Glacier, one of the fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, hastened its slide into the sea between 2017 and 2020, when one-fifth of its associated ice shelf broke off as massive ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing ...

Scientists are keeping a close eye on the Antarctic ice shelf as recent activity could soon cause rapid melting and rising sea levels. The sea ice in Antarctica has likely met its minimum extent for ...

More than five miles of glacial ice in Antarctica vanished in only two months, retreating 10 times as fast as the previous record, with possible implications for the stability of other glaciers and ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing ...
