Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is set to retreat "further and faster," scientists warn
Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration warn of a "grim outlook" for the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier."
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.
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.
The ‘Doomsday’ Glacier Is Set to Melt Faster. That’s Not Good
Tidal action pumping warmer sea water on the underside of the massive Thwaites Glacier will “inexorably” accelerate its melting this century, which could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic ice sheet and seriously impact global sea levels,
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' 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.
