2024年12月12日 · While the IPCC had included MICI-driven collapse in its projections for extreme sea-level rise, the new research suggests that Thwaites' retreat will likely remain gradual through the 21st...

2021年12月13日 · Thwaites Glacier (shown) poses the greatest near-term threat to sea level rise, scientists say. New data suggest that a buttressing ice shelf helping to slow the Florida-sized glacier’s slide into...

2025年1月5日 · The melting of the Thwaites Glacier would lead to the collapse of the WAIS which would in turn cause irreversible sea level rise that could endanger millions of people and accelerate warming of other ice.

2024年12月15日 · The Thwaites Glacier is a segment of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that drains into the Amundsen Sea. It has the world’s widest glacial front with the ocean, spanning roughly 75 miles (120 km). Collapse of this glacier could cause a catastrophic rise in sea levels worldwide.

2023年8月13日 · Data from our mission suggest that sometime over the past couple of centuries, Thwaites retreated two to three times faster than what we see today, signaling that more …

2024年9月20日 · Scientists using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots have found the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is melting at an accelerating rate and could be on an irreversible path to collapse,...

2024年12月11日 · A recent study by a team of researchers from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) has found that the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf – the last floating extension of Thwaites into the ocean - is rapidly destabilising due to widening cracks, not melting from below as previously thought.

2021年12月17日 · Thwaites Glacier, dubbed Antarctica’s ‘doomsday glacier,’ has been predicted to undergo dramatic changes, with its ice shelf likely to break apart in as little as five years.

2022年11月1日 · The loss of the Thwaites Glacier would in turn destabilize much of the rest of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, with enough ice to raise sea levels by 3.2 meters—more than 10 feet.

2024年9月20日 · A six-year investigation into the vast Thwaites glacier in Antarctica has concluded with a grim outlook on its future.
