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 ...

A new science briefing has revealed there is a "grim outlook" for Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier', which if it melts could plunge parts of the world underwater.

Thwaites Glacier holds enough ice to raise global sea level by more than 2 feet (0.65 meters). Once Thwaites starts to destabilize, it also will destabilize neighboring glaciers .

Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” – nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise – is melting rapidly in unexpected ways, according to new research. The Thwaites ...

Since 2018, the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC), a joint research initiative between the U.K. and the U.S., has been closely monitoring this immense glacier, which is roughly ...

Researchers have discovered that Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is melting at a much faster rate than anticipated, which could cause seas to rise to an apocalyptic level.

The Thwaites Glacier, aka the "doomsday glacier," has lost more than a trillion tons of ice since 2000. If the Thwaites collapsed entirely, global sea levels could rise by about 10 feet.

As it melts, Thwaites could cause ocean levels to rise as much as 2 feet, researchers say. But the glacier is also a natural dam to other ice in West Antarctica .

The Thwaites Ice Shelf, a floating platform of ice that braces and restrains the eastern portion of the Thwaites glacier, is expected to collapse within the next nine years. It was given a life ...
