The calving front of Thwaites' ice shelf. The blue area is light reflecting off ice below the water. James Yungel/NASA Icebridge Thwaites Glacier drains a huge area of Antarctica’s ice sheet – about ...

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 ...

The world’s widest glacier isn’t as grounded as scientists once thought. Relatively warm seawater is rushing underneath Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, contributing to rapid melting and global sea ...

Antartica's Thwaites Glacier is also known as the "Doomsday Glacier" because it could greatly contribute to sea level rise if it collapses. And new evidence suggests that's exactly what's happening.

Antarctica's so-called "doomsday glacier" -- nicknamed because of its high risk of collapse and threat to global sea level -- has the potential to rapidly retreat in the coming years, scientists say, ...

Deep in West Antarctica lies the Thwaites Glacier — known to scientists as the “Doomsday Glacier.” It’s one of the largest ice formations on Earth, and it’s melting faster than anyone predicted. If it ...

ANTARCTICA, — The massive "doomsday glacier" known for its rapid destabilization is undergoing a "vigorous ice melt" that scientists say could reshape sea level rise projections. In a new study, ...

Researchers have estimated the Antarctic “Doomsday Glacier”—which has been predicted to cause a devastating rise in global sea levels if it collapses—isn’t melting as quickly as scientists previously ...

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen as a bellwether for climate change, and the way things are going, it has earned its "doomsday" moniker. The Doomsday Glacier has been melting at an ...

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 ...

(THE CONVERSATION) This episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast is about the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. Thwaites is among the largest glaciers on Earth and one of the single most important ...
