#ThWaitEs

Thwaites is a runaway climate disaster. New studies show how. Melt from the "Doomsday Glacier" could drown coastlines around the world. And the outlook is getting even worse

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier may be melting twice as much as previously predicted, even without additional global warming. Scientists discovered that warm ocean water is penetrating miles beneath the ice, weakening its foundations and accelerating its…

Melt from the "Doomsday Glacier" could drown coastlines around the world. And the outlook is getting even worse.

West Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is on the brink of losing its ice shelf, further compromising the already melting ice mass and threatening to unleash devastating sea-level rises.

Researchers have warned that the Thwaites Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the world, is about to lose its eastern ice shelf. We spoke to marine geophysicist Robert Larter about what this means for the "Doomsday Glacier."
