"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.

Greenland's glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, and scientists say this will have consequences in Europe as well. The last decade has seen a peak in extreme ice melting in Greenland. Research published in the "Journal of Climate" by a team from the University of Barcelona highlights dramatic phenomena related to ice melt in recent decades.

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.

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.

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,

New study reveals Thwaites Glacier melting much faster than expected. Collapse could trigger devastating sea level rise.
