Doomsday Glacier, Antarctica
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
Iceberg “dead” ahead? We could witness a major meltdown in the near future: 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.
Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ Could Be Gone by 23rd Century
After years of research, scientists studying the massive Thwaites Glacier have found little reason for optimism.
Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
Thwaites Glacier could lead to 10 feet of sea level rise Rapid ice loss is set to speed up this century Study reveals unexpected melting mechanisms in Thwaites
Antarctica’s 'doomsday' glacier is heading for catastrophic collapse
As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise
Doomsday Glacier may collapse sooner than we thought
New study reveals Thwaites Glacier melting much faster than expected. Collapse could trigger devastating sea level rise.
Antarctica’s ‘doomsday’ glacier on the verge of collapse, experts warn
A glacier known as ‘the doomsday glacier’ that has the potential to cause sea levels to rise across the planet could be on the verge of collapse, scientists have warned. Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used underwater robots to take new measurements of the Thwaites Glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain or Florida.
Scientists Say Antarctica’s Melting Doomsday Glacier Is Heading For Catastrophe
The research team, using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots, determined the iceberg is melting at an accelerating rate.
Rapid loss of Antarctic ice after 2100 likely under current emissions
A new study by more than 50 climate scientists worldwide provides the clearest projection that Antarctica's ice sheet will retreat rapidly after 2100 under current carbon emissions, with global sea levels rising by as much as 5.
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.
