The Doomsday Glacier Melting Faster than Previously Thought

Scientists studying the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica have found it is melting at an accelerated pace. Known as the Doomsday Glacier, it represents over half a meter of global sea level rise potential, which could destabilize neighboring glaciers and cause a further three-meter rise.

13 US and British scientists use an underwater robot vehicle to monitor the glacier's grounding line as part of the largest Antarctic field campaign.

Warm water seeping into weak parts of the Thwaites Glacier is causing accelerated melting of up to 30 meters per year.

The melting of the Thwaites Glacier represents a significant threat to the world's coastal cities, potentially causing a 3-meter rise in sea levels.

The First Expedition to a Major Glacier's Grounding Line Scientists visit the grounding line of a major glacier for the first time, providing valuable data for more accurate climate change models.

The Melting of the Thwaites Glacier: A Complex Process Thwaites Glacier's melting is a complex process with many factors, including warm water seeping into weak spots and a potential retreat of the glacier.
