Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier,' Thwaites, is collapsing faster than anticipated, threatening catastrophic sea level rise.

Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting fast; this much, scientists already know. However, according to a new study, it's melting faster than we thought — and that spells trouble for sea-level-rise ...

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. They’re ...

A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored ...

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 of the ...

A new study led by scientists at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science offers the most ...

Scientists aren't being dramatic when they call it the Doomsday Glacier. Melting at Thwaites, an expanse of ice bigger than ...

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 percent of annual sea ...

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen in this undated image from NASA. Areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, researchers say.
