In this part of Thwaites Glacier — perhaps its most stable region — 1,900-foot-thick ice lifts upward from the seafloor and spreads over the ocean. Where the ice first departs from the ...

As the salty, relatively warm ocean water meets the ice, it’s causing “vigorous melting” underneath the glacier and could mean global sea level rise projections are being underestimated ...

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. If that ice is released into the ...

This Kohler West and Kohler East event was caused directly by climate change, as many Antarctic glaciers were flowing faster into the ocean. The faster a glacier flows, the more ice it abandons ...

(Gray News) - Ocean water is pushing under the grounded ice of the Thwaites Glacier — also known as the “Doomsday Glacier” — in Antarctica, making the glacier more vulnerable to melting ...

(CNN) — Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier,” making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research which used radar data ...
