Scientists have uncovered a hidden force behind the rapid melting of Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier—powerful wind jets known ...

If Thwaites's ice shelf were to collapse, it would expose a very tall ice cliff facing the ocean along its 75-mile (120-kilometer) front.There is only so much force that ice can sustain, so if the ...

I want to honor the remaining distance between us and Thwaites Glacier’s calving front ... equally important places. The view from the bridge with ice-floe reflections (Photograph by ...

The Thwaites Glacier, capable of raising sea level by several feet, is eroding along its underwater base as the planet warms. In a study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience ...

The Thwaites Glacier is in big trouble ... “It really blows my mind how beautiful the data are.” A 3D-rendered view of the multibeam bathymetry (seafloor shape) colored by depth, collected ...

A study released this week added new fears to the fate of an important glacier in Antarctica and its impact on sea-level rise. The Thwaites Glacier on the vast West Antarctica Ice Sheet is ...

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 ...

In a new study, glaciologists from the University of California, Irvine, found that warm, high-pressure ocean water is seeping beneath West Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, making it more vulnerable ...

A new study of the Antarctic seafloor suggests that the massive Thwaites Glacier, part of a larger ice sheet, could start receding faster and hasten a rise in sea levels. The Thwaites Glacier ...

A team of scientists say seawater flowing underneath and into gaps in the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is contributing to the melting of the massive ice formation — a potentially ominous sign ...
