A team from the British Antarctic Survey has completed the first map of the ground beneath West Antarctica's Doomsday Glacier, which is the size of Great Britain and could raise global sea levels ...
The Thwaites Glacier, chillingly dubbed the “Doomsday Glacier”, is back in the spotlight, and for terrifying reasons. New research shows that if this Antarctic giant collapses, it could raise global ...
It's called the Doomsday Glacier because of its potential to dramatically raise sea levels in places such as Florida, and it has been studied for years as an indicator of human-caused climate change.
A projection shows how Florida would be impacted by a 10-foot sea level rise. NOAA What To Know. A projection map from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggests that ...
Antarctica's unstable “Doomsday Glacier,” an ice mass the size of Florida, is melting, but researchers have discovered a new problem: Deep cracks on the glacier's underside are accelerating ...
Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, sometimes called the "doomsday" glacier for the consequences that could result as it continues to melt, is capable of shrinking twice as fast as it has in recent ...
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 resulting map showed that the bump is covered with around 160 parallel grooved lines that give it a barcode-like appearance. These strange-looking grooves, which are also known as ribs, are ...
This means if the so-called “Doomsday Glacier” is clinging by a thread, it truly may be too late to prevent it from melting. So to recap: Thwaites may hit the critical point scientists fear ...
An underwater vehicle has disappeared without a trace as it explored under the "Doomsday Glacier" in Antarctica. The 23-foot unmanned underwater vehicle (AUV), named Ran, was on a mission studying ...
