Tidal action on the underside of the Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic will "inexorably" accelerate melting this century, according to new research by British and American scientists. The researchers warn the faster melting could destabilize the entire West Antarctic Ice sheet,

Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration warn of a "grim outlook" for the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier."

Cold Hard Facts A team of scientists have been closely monitoring the Thwaites — or "Doomsday" — glacier in Antarctica since 2018. Now, they're summarizing the findings of their six year project, The International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration,

Tidal action pumping warmer sea water on the underside of the massive Thwaites Glacier will “inexorably” accelerate its melting this century, which could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic ice sheet and seriously impact global sea levels,

As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise

A glacier known as ‘the doomsday glacier’ that has the potential to cause sea levels to rise across the planet could be on the verge of collapse, scientists have warned. Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used underwater robots to take new measurements of the Thwaites Glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain or Florida.

Scientists say warm sea water is speeding the retreat of the Thwaites Glacier, which acts as a backstop for the huge West Antarctic ice sheet.

After years of research, scientists studying the massive Thwaites Glacier have found little reason for optimism.
