Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.
Scientists aren’t too optimistic and have said there’s a 'grim outlook' if the glacier melts, plunging parts of the world ...
A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...
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.
The Thwaites Glacier, part of the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is one of the world's fastest-changing and most unstable glaciers. At 74,000 square miles large, it's roughly the size of the state ...
Antarctica's Thwaites glacier, nicknamed "Doomsday Glacier," isn't melting as fast as feared – but deep fractures in ice are taking the heaviest toll.
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is reportedly melting “rapidly” in unexpected ways, according to new research published Wednesday by Cornell University and the British Antarctic Survey.
Ice shelf on Antarctica's "doomsday glacier" could shatter in next 5 years, researchers warn 05:18. Scientists got their first close-up look at what is eating away part of Antarctica's Thwaites ...
The ice shelf is the floating tongue of the Thwaites glacier, a Florida-sized river of ice that helps to hold one of Antarctica’s two massive ice sheets in check.
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.
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier – nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” – is feared to be more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, with implications for low-lying areas as far away ...
Thwaites Glacier holds enough ice to raise global sea level by more than 2 feet (0.65 meters). Once Thwaites starts to destabilize, it also will destabilize neighboring glaciers .
