Doomsday glacier, Antarctica
A giant Antarctic glacier is melting but scientists have found a way to thicken Arctic sea ice
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is retreating at a faster rate than in previous decades, raising concerns about a total collapse.
Antarctic 'Doomsday Glacier' Heading for Collapse
"Thwaites has been retreating for more than 80 years, accelerating considerably over the past 30 years, and our findings indicate it is set to retreat further and faster," Rob Larter, science coordinator of ITGC and a marine geophysicist at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), said in a statement.
Doomsday glacier headed for collapse sooner than expected, triggering deadly sea level rise
Researchers have discovered that Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is melting at a much faster rate than anticipated, which could cause seas to rise to an apocalyptic level.
'Doomsday' glacier set to melt faster and swell seas as world heats up, say scientists
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,
Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is set to retreat "further and faster," scientists warn
Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration warn of a "grim outlook" for the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier."
The 'Doomsday Glacier' Is Melting Even Faster Than We Feared
The Doomsday Glacier has been melting at an increasing rate as global temperatures continue to rise, but a new analysis suggests Thwaites could be in for even faster melting than previously believed.
'Doomsday glacier' on brink of collapse could sink parts of Planet Earth
A new science briefing has revealed there is a "grim outlook" for Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier', which if it melts could plunge parts of the world underwater. Thwaites Glacier is a vast area of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and is the same size as Great Britain or the US state of Florida.
