Suppose the world’s most heavily monitored glacier is going to melt at a rate models cannot keep pace with? The Thwaites ...

Scientists are using satellite data to track fractures in Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier - before its collapse triggers major ...

"The Thwaites is pretty much doomed." The findings are the culmination of six years of research conducted by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, a collective of more than 100 scientists.

Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier got its nickname the "Doomsday Glacier" for its potential to flood coastlines around the world if it collapsed. It is already contributing about 4% of annual sea ...

At 80 miles across, Thwaites is the world's widest glacier. It has been nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" for the catastrophic effects its thawing could have on global sea-level rise.

The edge of Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica. If the entire Florida-sized glacier melts, sea levels will rise by over two feet and much of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will be exposed.

The Thwaites Glacier on the vast West Antarctica Ice Sheet is commonly called the "Doomsday Glacier" because of its potential to significantly raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet globally ...

A glacier’s underbelly Thwaites Glacier and most of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet sit on a gravelly bed that is hundreds of meters below sea level — making the ice vulnerable to warm, salty ...

Instead, Thwaites Glacier has a tidally controlled grounding zone stretching between 1.2 and 3.7 miles (2 kilometers to 6 kilometers) wide, with warm seawater intrusions reaching a further 3.7 ...
